Dirty Down Rust Effect

Product Information

To darken the shade apply more coats. Allow each coat to fully dry before applying another. Any number of coats of 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. 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. 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. Gently press the damp flat end of kitchen roll against the dried paint, and twist the kitchen roll. Spray paint onto a surface straight from the pot using an air brush or pressure pot spray gun. Clean air brush immediately after use.

Dip the brush and immediately apply to the surface. For a patchy effect dab the paint onto a surface and keep dabbing in the same place until the paint dries. Any number of coats can be applied in this way. For a more even effect paint an even coat onto a surface. A dry, damp or wet brush can be usedEnsure surfaces are clean, dry and grease free. Test the paint on hidden surfaces before use to ensure compatibility and adhesion. A different rust effect is obtained depending on whether a soft or stiff brush used to apply the paint. 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. 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. The mixture will settle on the bottom of the pot. It’s very important to thoroughly shake the pot with the ball bearings rattling before each and every use. Thoroughly stir the mixture and ensure that solids on the bottom of the pot are fully mixed into the liquid. Repeat stirring and shaking until all lumps have gone. It’s much better to shake and stir rust paint when the pot is at room temperature or warmer. If the pot is cold it may not be possible to fully mix any solids into the liquid.

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. Fine Soft Brush: For very detailed work. Apply a small amount to the brush and apply directly to the surface. Hold can upright 30cm (12 inches) away from the surface, and spray across the surface in one smooth sweep, keeping the nozzle fully depressed. Spots of concentrated dye may appear if the button is only partially depressed.The dark coloured liquiddries to a high matt rust colourin 1 to 5 minutes depending on the temperature.

Rust ageing spray is a fine mist semi-transparent spray dye that makes things look dirty and old, or aged. Dirty rusty red colour. The spray is water soluble and can be smeared and reworked by wetting with water. Fast drying. Ozone friendly.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.

Larger Soft Brush: For apply larger amounts to larger areas. For a darker shade apply larger quantities and for lighter shades apply smaller quantities. 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.

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. Apply the paint to a surface and apply a small amount of water to the paint as it dries. This usually causes the colours to separate and dry different shades and more patchy.
