Rustbucket weathering - 6

7. Dry-brushing a light Orange Oxide colored oil
paint.
Now that the car has been faded, I move to the next
phase. This step requires the use of the Orange Oxide oil
paint. With a dab of the oil paint on a palette, I use a dif-
ferent semi-wide, angled hair brush, picking up a “mere
mention” of the oil paint. I then wipe off most of the oil
paint from the brush onto a white index card. Wiping the
excess paint off the brush onto a card is the perfect way
to see how much paint will be applied to the car. I always
uphold the “light-to-dark” factor when I weather, so in
this case, I dry-brush a very light layer of Orange Oxide
oil paint onto the entire lower car body. This serves as a
base for the heavy rust bleed-off that follows in upcom-
ing steps.

8. Blend any brush strokes with a large, soft
makeup brush.
After lightly applying even applications of the dry-
brushed oil paint, I use a very wide soft hair makeup
brush (with the oil paint still wet) to blend away any tell-
tale brush strokes. With this process now complete, I
mist another Dullcote application to seal it.
