If you have silver armour and the paint were to chip, then what would show is whatever the coat underneath it was. Like some vehicles painted later, when chipped show their factory paint job. What colour that would be I dunno though. I'd pick what looks like a likely undercoat - if not what you actually used - and try that on a couple spots, on a trial piece first and see if you like the effect.

RE: typhus corrosion - love the stuff! I would experiement with it a bit before using it on your finished model. I find building it up gradually works best. I use a mix of a little of it, with water, and an old brush then apply. Then if it's not enough, you add more. But you're not likely to add too much this way.
