I like the white-washed bring look better myself.. I agree with kbrown on the lighting though. The paint-effects would probably get you what you need, depending on how good you are with the paint tools. I've used them very seldom, though, so I don't know if its possible to add on an existing 2d texture map? Another suggestion would be maybe adding some chips or missing pieces of bricks to the corners of the doorway..Just to add to the old slum look you're going for :bgreen:
