The best method I have found for fraying is to use a knife to make the holes, then use a wire brush to tease them out. It frays them up real good. I use sponge brushes and various acrylics. I never use any type of food or spray paint, as the clothes will stink usually. Acrylic paint has virtually no smell after it is dried, and is "clean" weathering that will last for a long time. Also I use mod podge to seal in wet areas and blood wounds.
