Dirty Down Rust Effect

Product Information

The mixture will settle on the bottom of the pot. Thoroughly shake with the ball bearing rattling and stir before each and every use. Keep the kitchen roll in one place, do not wipe side to side across the surface. Some rust paint is left on the model and some removed. Some rust paint will have been wetted by the damp kitchen roll and will change shade to look darker, just like old rust. Gently press the damp flat end of kitchen roll against the dried rust paint, and twist the kitchen roll. Rust Effect is water soluble. Rust Effect can be wiped off surfaces in two ways (even when fully dry):

Stiff Brush: Very light shades can be obtained by dabbing a very small quantity of paint onto a surface using a stiff brush. Allow the paint to dry slightly on the brush for a very light effect, similar to the “dry brushing” painting technique. Very light shades can be obtained by dabbing a very small quantity when it has slightly dried, similar to the “dry brushing” technique. Spray paint onto a surface straight from the pot using an air brush or pressure pot spray gun. Clean air brush immediately after use. Keep the kitchen roll in one place, do not wipe side to side across the surface. Some paint is left on the model and some removed. Some paint will have been wetted by the damp kitchen roll and will change shade to look darker.Dip the stiff brush, cloth or tissue into the rust paint and immediately dab onto the surface and keep dabbing the paint until the paint dries. A different rust effect is obtained depending on whether a stiff brush, cloth or tissue is used to apply the paint. Before use: Thoroughly shake the pot with the ball bearing rattling and t horoughly stir inside the pot with an old brush until all the lumps are gone.

To darken the shade apply more coats. Allow each coat to fully dry before applying another. Any number of coats of rust paint can be applied over the top of each other. For a broken, patchy effectapply to small areas/patches at a time and allow to dry – more in some areas, less in others. Stiff Brush: Very light shades can be obtained by dabbing a very small quantity of rust paint onto a surface using a stiff brush. Allow rust paint to dry slightly on the brush for a very light effect, similar to the “dry brushing” painting technique.Our ageing sprays are water soluble and the effects of spraying will be lost by washing in water, but there may still be staining. Remove most of the water from the flat end so that it’s only slight damp. This can be done by pushing the flat end against other dry pieces of kitchen roll. Apply a small amount of water to the rust paint and either allow to dry on its own, or dry by dabbing with a piece of kitchen roll or tissue. This usually causes the colours to separate and dry different shades and more patchy.

Only apply to non-porous surfaces such as plastic and metal. Do not apply to porous/absorbent surfaces such as bare timber or paper. The paint can be applied to painted surfaces, but test first. If the effect does not form, try first sealing the surface with varnish. Use sparingly, apply several fine coats rather than one heavy coat. The shade will darken with each coat applied. To darken the shade apply more coats. Allow each coat to fully dry before applying another. Any number of coats of rust paint can be applied over the top of each other. For a broken, patchy effect apply to small areas/patches at a time and allow to dry – more in some areas, less in others. To fill dents and groovesin 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. The wetter the cloth, the more paint removed. To lighten shade add a little water. Do not add water into the paint pot, it’s best tip a little paint into a separate pot and then add small amounts of water. Or to lighten the colour, apply paint to a surface with a damp/wet brush. Or, after painting dab the wet or dry paint with a wet brush.When fully dry, rust paint can be made more permanent by spraying with fine/mist coats of acrylic varnish/lacquer. Test varnish first because types of varnish change the colour/shade of the paint. A different rust effect is obtained depending on whether a soft or stiff brush used to apply the paint. To fill dents and grooves in surfaces, first cover the surface with 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. The wetter the cloth, the more paint removed. Larger Soft Brush: For apply larger amounts to larger areas. For a darker shade apply larger quantities and for lighter shades apply smaller quantities.

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. The wetter the cloth, the more paint removed. The pot and surface should be at room temperature or warmer before use. The rust colour may not appear if the pot and/or the surface are very cold. Rusty red/brown colour with shades of orange and yellow. Very good when used for shading. Rust ageing spray is often used in combination with acrylic paints to mimic real rust. Usage Instructions Only apply to non-porous surfaces such as plastic and metal. Do not apply to porous/absorbent surfaces such as bare timber or paper. Rust paint can be applied to painted surfaces, but test first. If the effect does not form, try first sealing the surface with varnish.

Fine Soft Brush: For very detailed work. Apply a small amount to the brush and apply directly to the surface. The dark coloured liquiddries to a high matt rust colourin 1 to 5 minutes depending on the temperature. Apply rust paint bybrushorairbrush/sprayer.Rust paint looks best when applied torough, textured surfaces. Always clean the brush in water or methylated spirit straight after use (not white spirit). Do not let the paint fully harden onto brush. Gently press the damp flat end of kitchen roll against the dried paint, and twist the kitchen roll.
