If the mini already has a relief of raised/sunk panels you can use a 
wash of thinned paint/ink (mostly thinner with just a little paint).
Paint 
this over the whole surface and then clean off with paper towel or soft 
cloth. The panel edges will retain some of the paint. Try first on some 
not-so-important model until you get the hang of it.
