Replace the lid quickly during use to prevent the liquid from evaporating or decant what you need to use for a job into a separate smaller pot/container with a lid. Smearing is easier when the spray is still wet, but is also possible after the spray has fully dried. The dark coloured liquid dries to a high matt rust colour in 1 to 5 minutes depending on the temperature.

Rust paint is water soluble and the effects of painting will be lost by washing in water or by getting wet, but there may still be staining. Apply them to most fabrics, glass, mirrors, leather, timber, furniture, paper, card, metal, painted surfaces, plaster, brickwork, stone, plastics and more. More rust paint can be removed if desired, so that only the smallest amounts are left trapped in grooves and indents.After a quick pass I went back and tried a much heavier spray, to see if the dried results were any different. Further variations in shade can be created by dabbing a damp or wet brush, cloth or tissue onto the painted surface and then leaving to dry. For our model, the water would run down the railings, so we made sure to apply the Dirty Down Rust in that direction. Anti-Static spray eliminates static on fabric, including wool, nylon and other synthetics, carpets and rugs.

Fine mist spray that deposits a semi-transparent layer of gentle coloured dye that creates a dirty, old or aged look. 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. To get started, lightly paint some Darkstar Molten Metal Graphite onto the base of your model, making sure to get it onto all the places you want the rust to show through.

You can also shake the bottle to mix all the sediment together, but this way is quicker and less laborious! For a first attempt I think I’ve come pretty close to where I want to be, but it’s not quite perfect.
