To fill dents and grooves in surfaces, first cover the surface with rust paint, and then wipe the paint off the raised areas with a damp cloth (at an angle to the grooves), leaving some of the paint trapped. If several coats are applied the colour darkens to a shade similar to that of our normal rust effect paint. That said, I don’t know if the varnish will reactivate it, although I haven’t covered that in this review. Whilst it is simple you can be quite accurate with this and it does actually yield some really great effects. PRO TIP: Rust will appear wherever water settles, so think about where water would naturally gather on your model before applying the rust.

The dark coloured liquid dries to a high matt rust colour in 1 to 5 minutes depending on the temperature. Tip: keep the pot in your pocket against your skin for an hour before use and shake regularly with the ball bearing rattling. High matt rust effect paint that simulates atmospheric oxidisation of aged metals on non-porous surfaces such as plastic and metal.In this tutorial, we’ve used some railings to showcase the rust effects, but you can use any miniature or piece of terrain that needs weathering. Paint the sediment onto your model wherever rust would naturally sit, making sure to cover as much of the metallics as possible.

Its very important to thoroughly shake the pot with the ball bearings rattling before each and every use.Further variations in shade can be created by dabbing a damp or wet brush, cloth or tissue onto the painted surface and then leaving to dry. Hold can upright 30cm (12 inches) away from the surface, and spray across the surface in one smooth sweep, keeping the nozzle fully depressed.
