How To Create Weathering Rust Effect Paint Patina Lexan Proline Power Wagon Body Rc Junkyard truck

How To Create Weathering Rust Effect Paint Patina Lexan Proline Power Wagon Body Rc Junkyard truck
After searching for images of REAL barn finds and junkyard Power Wagon trucks on Google I decided for my spare clear Proline Dodge Power Wagon Polcarbonate body to get Rusty!
I first tried the rust look on a Tamiya Sand Scorcher hard body with good results as shown in this video at the end and my other Tamiya Collection video so wanted to try again.

The Vw Beetle I did previously was just the Rustique Rust kit I bought online very simple to use and worked well check out there KZbin video:
• Rusty Paint demo our s...
I also used Rusty Paint from www.rustypaint.com the main difference is Rustique you get cans to spray the Rustypaint version you can mix paint and activator powder as much as you like to keep for longer.
I am not sponsored by either product so read up on each and decide the kit that suits your project best and how much you will need, I tried both and had great results.
After this one I am going to rust wheels, add more scale accessories to the rear bed and take it out on the trails against all the shiny new Rc's and see how I get on.
For the basics of the rust process check out the 2 companies websites/ KZbin videos for exact instructions as its very important for best results as you can see from their websites but a brief version is -
Rudtypaint.com Mix the paint tin very well, paint on, leave to dry, sand until shiny with silver flecks in it then spray activator and rub in again by lightly sanding or scourer pads and leave to dry.
You can re apply activator several times if not reacting enough the 1st try. When you have the look you like spray clear matt or gloss spray to seal it to stop oxygen reacting creating more rust.
The Rustique was a similar process by spraying on the paint formula I brushed it on after spraying into the can lid as it was a small area I wanted to rust not a real car! then used the activator and hey presto the next day all done.
Hope that gives a bit of a heads up for you to try your own version and good luck!

I just got one word WOW !!!!!! I have been painting rc car an truck bodys for about 5 years I do think this is the best old/new body lol I have seen great job friend

[@rcadventurer]

wow thanks very much! it was my 1st attempt at rust and damaged body etc really enjoyed it found it more satisfying than doing polished perfect new body to be honest not afraid to make mistakes as its not noticed haha 👍

[@andrewleonberger8609]

I've done a similar technique to my daily driver truck. Everyone thinks its a wrap. I painted it to look like a WW2 airplane. 7 or more paint colors under the silver and gray. back sanded. when I drive it on trails and it gets scratched it just looks better. I airbrushed over 200 rivets on it. I'm really excited to do my first RC truck the FMS max smasher. You are inspirational. Looking forward to more tips and tricks. Thanks. I'm excited to see how trail damage will add to the effect on your RC.

[@rcadventurer]

wow that sounds awesome!!!! and yes the best thing is any more damage or scratches on the Rc just adds to the look and not afraid to drive it anywhere like a news shiny paintjob haha good luck for your project

[@arni7810]

Awesome!!!😮 so I want to but the RGT challenger 1/10 RC in the green color they have..but I want to remove the gloss of the shell, how can I do that to make it matte?

[@rcadventurer]

If you have a gloss shell and your keeping the same colour you can spray tamiya flat spray on it to make it flat / matt but I would do a test area 1st to check your happy with it, if your changing the colour then you need to sand it all over respray in a flat colour if thats what you mean :)

I love this so much. The question is though, how well will it stand up to actual use? Scratches and trail love and such? Is there something we could coat it with?

[@rcadventurer]

Hi thanks for watching, I have a video on the channel of it going round a huge scale course and its fine as the rust and paint is solid with flat clear coat on top so doesn't chip off and to be honest you are never gonna notice a scratch on that rusty old body ha ha Cheers for tuning in my friend👍👍👍

@@rcadventurer great thanks mate, I have mine at the red oxide primed underneath stage, nice and shiny from the outside! Doing trials on off cuts of polycarbonate. Building up the courage to attack with cuts salts rust etc. It’s not easy being brutal lol. I might do a milder version of yours.just checking out your pics on Facebook,you have different rusty wheels on there,they look they part better I think. Which wheels are they please? Ps you realise that soon there will be a clone of yours running around this summer! I’m in the midlands so hope we don’t clash lol thanks for your help and inspiration. John C.

[@rcadventurer]

@@johnchapman1649 oh yeah forgot at the end of the vid I just put on the huge mudslingers from my other Rc as the ones I messaged you were not ready at that point so yes the rusty ones and the ones I messaged you just rusted them up from being black. Don't mind if there are lots of rusted up ones they look so individual love them send me pics of your when done please , now get chopping and cutting haha👍

[@johnchapman1649]

@@rcadventurer yes will send pics when finished, one more question,after applying water then salt or flour, do you dry it out before spraying on the paint?

[@rcadventurer]

@@johnchapman1649 cool, if it's very wet yes if not very wet you can spray then just leave to dry b4 scratching off the residue if that's what your doing if its to be left as it is after painting just leave to dry, the flour turned really hard on mine especially on the doors more lumpy if that's what u want sugar/ salt crumbles more 👍👍

cheers for checking it out excellent fun building the kits glad your going well, for any 3d printed parts I buy them from knight customs from USA or 99% of the accessories I buy are just from ebay various sellers love just going through ebay looking for various 1/10 scale parts for them just a pain waiting 2-5 weeks for the stuff from china haha

What activator did you use ? My rc local shop has no idea what that is !!

[@rcadventurer]

Hello it's in the video description check out the link and it was bought from eBay it's not a referral link it's just therefore helping people thanks

[@johnchapman1649]

Great artwork! I am about to paint my dodge power wagon for my trx4 , is the the varnish Matt 49 ok to go direct onto polycarbonate? Once it is on I guess you don’t need a polycarbonate paint to go on top of the varnish? Namely the blue.

[@rcadventurer]

Thanks for checking it out you can only put PS paints on lexan / poly as you know but if there is a colour I like that's not PS suitable I put PS flat clear on 1st to give the paint something to stick to and always use a backing colour on after to seal it in like white or black etc. If you try on a test piece of plastic and screw it up the non ps paint cracks, but for general Rc use I have had no issues with this method so far. This project was different as it wouldnt get noticed a few cracke haha but I don't recommend it as such just in case you get a prob but so far all the ones I have done on my channel the scx10III jeep and trx4 defender have been fine even after a few tumbles no more damage than Ps paint so all good. Thanks again for watching much appreciated and good luck with your project👍👍

[@johnchapman1649]

@@rcadventurer thanks,just one last question, is it ok to spray the inside with red oxide fine primer straight onto polycarbonate? Or should I use the polycarbonate Matt varnish first?

[@rcadventurer]

@@johnchapman1649 Hi, I sprayed it straight on bonded really well and have had no issues at all with it so no flat clear used for that cheers
