My newest favorite technique is what I call 'whitewashing'. After the piece is baked, I go over with a very dry brush dipped in titanium white acrylic paint (remember stenciling..that dry) and lightly brush over the which ever part I want to make pop, then I do a short re-bake to set the paint. I have scraped at it with a nail and its not coming off, but you can glaze over it if you like, I would recommend a satin type glaze so you keep the 'old, worn paint' feeling.
I have used other colors than white but the white is by far my favorite.
