Bradley25mm Posted December 16, 2021 Report Share Posted December 16, 2021 All, This was the first time I experimented with the Vallejo Rust texture. It was a learning experience for sure. The most important thing to do is keep the rust texture stirred well. Because the mixture contains a lot of Solids, it needs to be stirred often. I used the end of an old paint brush to break up the solids in the bottom of the bottle. Once they’re broken up, you close the lid and shake it well. If it is not stirred well, the effect will be a much lighter texture. Simply brush the mixture on the flat surfaces only. On the real vehicle, bolt heads and other raised areas are not covered with a nonslip surface. Once the texture dries, simply airbrush the color that you want right over top of it. I got some pretty good results. There may be other paints out there that will produce the same affect. Hope this helps. Chris 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
