15. The corrosion and damage has been added to
the door as I work my way from left to right across

Rustbucket weathering- 9
STEP 6: Weathering the door
It’s time to bring the battered plug door of the car to life.
To do the door weathering, I basically repeat the same
steps I have applied to the rest of the car. I weather the
door as a separate component using a Terra Cotta acrylic
craft paint. I use layers to bring about the faded salmon
pinkish hue of the bright red door.
Using the same burnt sienna and black acrylics, I repeat
painting the damage, and halo the damaged areas. In the
indented areas of the door, I lightly brush on and feather
a fine black/brown pastel powder scraped from the Al-
pha Color sticks. [15] you see the completed door. You
might wonder why I left a huge square patch untouched
to the left hand side of the car. That is where a large col-
orful graffiti piece will be painted.
