Great to see a new video buddy!

Hey, thanks!

[@dundasjunctionmodelr.r-jam8267]

Excellent video I am just starting to learn how to do this

[@mikejungferman4744]

Nice, im trying this procedure, you really helped me understand the process, and like you said, there are no rules lol

[@BuntersYard]

Absolutely. Glad you found it useful

[@colwichjunction3366]

Seeing as I’ve just had a delivery of the these very plate girder bridge sides, I’ll be doing this to mine as soon as time allows👍 Great vid as per usual. Thanks John b 😎

[@BuntersYard]

I’m watching out for your results. Good luck 🤞🏻

@colwichjunction3366 I’ll be zooming in and checking every single pixel 😂😂

Why do you use oil based paints vs. acrylic?

[@robinlinkens7460]

Where did you get the Bridge side from, who is the manufacturer?

[@BuntersYard]

They are our design and available on ebay at the moment. (thanks for reminding me i've added the link into the description now ) But heres the link ; www.ebay.co.uk/itm/285314289716

Would you also use your rust technique (with the thiner) on spraypainted surfaces (fully dried)? Or would that make a mess? I'd like to paint my bridge green first. Thank you for the video!

[@BuntersYard]

Oil paint thinners wouldn’t have an effect on acrylic or enamel paints so safe to use on painted surfaces….. except green!! ( nah just kidding!) Best to let the paints dry fully and you’re good to go 👍🏼

[@andrewbergman9315]

Could you also apply a really really thin line of oil along the top of each panel, apply a line of thinner on top of it and then use the airbrush with no paint in it at an angle to make it flow down? I might test that idea - I find the brush strokes tend to take a slight curve because of the nature of the hand movement being slightly circular

[@BuntersYard]

That’s an interesting idea 🤔 I’ll have to give it a go However, when dragging with the brush I find it’s easier if your hand is ‘floating’ in mid air ( so without a pivot point). Hope that makes sense?

[@mattseymour8637]

Great helpful video! When I try this method and streak the paint I can't seem to get it to work right and doesn't look realistic. Also I struggle to get the streaks straight. What am I doing wrong? Is oil or acrylic paint best?

[@BuntersYard]

Acrylics will dry too quickly in most cases so i'd highly recommend using oils. To get the streaks to runs straight down, you'll need to get in a position where you can swiftly drag the oil from top to bottom in one pass. Too many attempts and the effect can be lost. Good luck

[@mattseymour8637]

​@@BuntersYardOk will try using the oil based paints rather than the acrylic for this but I did try it on the oil paint and didn't work too well. I saw you layered up the paint once you went over with a wet brush. Maybe I should try that? Also how do you get the streaks so straight?

[@simplesimon2802]

Great tutorial, however even with the sound on max I could only just hear you.

[@BuntersYard]

Yes sorry. We were trying some new editing software and are getting used to the new settings. Hopefully future videos will be better balanced

You need volume. I have to turn you way up, then when an ad interrupts it blows me out of my chair.
