Rustbucket weathering - 7
Now comes the fun
but tedious stuff!
This is where I put
my finest brushes to
work. With the fine
liner brush cleaned
and ready, I place
a drop of Burnt
Sienna and a drop of
Charcoal Gray acrylic
paints on the palette.
Adding water again,
I mix the two colors
to a fairly thin ratio.
Once complete, and
with my prototype
reference photo at
the ready, I begin the
process of painting
the scratches, scrapes
and rust pits.

Painting the corro-

on the car is easily

weathering process.
I perform this step
while studying each
scratch, scrape, and
pit on the prototype
photograph. After
the primary layer of
the damage is paint-
ed, I paint a second
and even third layer to insure complete coverage.
