Remember that most weathering techniques can be applied in very small increments. This gives you the ability to weather an object a very small amount, place it on your layout and look at it within a variety of lighting conditions, and see how you like it. Not weathered enough? Apply another very small amount of it, and place it on the layout for another week, watching it under varying conditions.
You can always add more weathering to something, but it's generally much more difficult to "un-weather" it. It's kind of like baking something, in that sense...
