Since I first got it, I've used Testor's Gunmetal as the base on all my evil armor except the Nine and Sauron. I find that it better achieves the "beaten lead" look that the Weta crew was going for when making all those costumes.
Basecoat of Testor's Gunmetal
Drybrush of Boltgun Metal
occasionally a touch of something red or brown in places for blood & rust highlights.

I've done mine a little differently:

1.white undercoat
2.watery mix of chaos black and chainmail
3.chainmail
4.highlight with touches of mithril silver on the most raised areas.
