Dry-Brush Metallics on Foam

Start with a flat dark base coat and let it cure fully, at least 24 hours. Load a torn foam brush with metallic paint and wipe most of it off on a paper towel before touching the piece. Hit raised edges and surface texture only. Two passes: first with gunmetal, second with silver on the highest ridges. Seal immediately with matte varnish to lock the effect without killing the texture.
