Volksfan Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 I was just wondering. I'm still practicing with an airbrush but I want to weather sometime soon so can you use the hair spray and salt technique with cans and get a good finish? I was thinking to get a realistic look of several tones of rust, use a thin sponge to filter the thin paint coats and give it a spotty affect. i was thinking I could use colors like Tamiya ts flat brown, ts red brown, and a little of ts yellow something. i need feedback.

Snake45 Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Why not stick some steel wool in a little jar of water. In a few days you'll be able to paint an authentic rust color on with a brush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBuick Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Short answer - yes, there are lots of ways to do it...it all depends on how detailed and "rusty" you want to get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey snake, that is similar to the way I used to do it. I used and old butter container, got ahold of a few burned out open bathroom fan motors, disassembled the flat steel plates, and stuck one of them in the dish with water, and a little table salt to help speed up the process. Put the lid on, and in a few days I had instant rust, with crusties Nothing better than the real deal. Cheers, Lance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
