A review and tutorial on how to use the Mr. Weathering Color range of products by Mr. Hobby.

[@thawsitt]

Thank you for a very informative video!! Really hard to find tutorials about this product online, so really appreciate the tips here.

[@supernovastudio4822]

You are most welcome, glad it was useful to you.

[@AndrevwZA]

You make it look so easy. It flows nicely.

[@statoilbensin2190]

Thats why you use a gloss coat over youre model kit

[@supernovastudio4822]

Thanks, it does work great especially if applied over a gloss coat as Statoil Bensin has said.

[@vinashvinisingh]

Awesome video! Keep the tutorials coming 😁🔥

[@supernovastudio4822]

Thanks! Will do!

What a "happy accident" as Bob Ross would've said, stumbling on your KZbin page. Great advice, Bru! Thank you! 🇿🇦

[@supernovastudio4822]

Glad you found this video and thanks for taking the time to comment, much appreciated Bru!

Good question! It’s oil based not alcohol so I think it will be ok but suggest you test on an unused piece of styrene first. Let us know the result please.

[@yshish5286]

I will use this to my RC car.. is it water resistant/proof? will it not be removed when the body is submerged into to the water?

[@statoilbensin2190]

Actually Mr hobby sell finebrushes that can be fitted under your mr wheatering color.

[@jeffholt9437]

Is there an attachment point on the underside of the cap then?

[@soresumaster01]

@@jeffholt9437 There is! I just got one and was wondering what that pointy thing under the cap was.

[@terryg6596]

excelent job and some good advice and tutoring , thanks a lot have subbed

[@ORLY911]

have you tried the blue one? i was wondering how light or dark it is. havent seen it demo'd anywhere.

[@Importman2009]

So can you thin normal oil paints with Mr Weather thinner? Thanks

[@supernovastudio4822]

Although I assume it would work just fine, I have not tested this. I suggest try a small amount before committing.

[@WanyDany]

how much time does it take for it to dry?

[@TheOnboardAphid]

I do have one question, is it recommended to take the same precautions as Tamiya panel liner when using this on bare plastic? It's because I don't really paint my kits aside from markers on details.

[@KANEISNINJA]

Mr weathering is "less" harsh on the plastic but personally I would still top coat if you are doing a wash considering the amount of paint going on the kit

[@LePopCollectibles]

I read online that Mr Weathering is oil based paint. Can I use Mr Weathering on Mr Color (lacquer paint) painted models for some black wash, and then use cotton bud dipped in some Mr Weathering Thinner to slowly remove the excess on the model part? The solvent won't affect the lacquer paint I put on earlier on the model, right? Thanks.

[@supernovastudio4822]

I would recommend to be safe first apply an acrylic varnish then do your weathering.

[@kerodrone1220]

Can I mix the two colors of Mr weathering?

[@supernovastudio4822]

Although we have not done it, there is no reason why it should not work, oil paints are great for mixing and blending. I suggest putting different colors on your palette and then blend them until you are happy with the colour before applying to the model.

[@loydmorton9134]

Are you guys by any chance thinking of bringing in vortex mixers? I know there are alot of people asking about them

[@philipzwart6449]

Hi Lloyd, we have tested a couple and may do so in the future if we find the right model at a reasonable price

[@loydmorton9134]

@@philipzwart6449 glad to hear that , there is a definite market

[@terrydactyl2077]

How do you find those Vallejo synthetic brushes? They are available in Brisbane and the cheapest model brand brushes. Thought of trying some out.

[@philipzwart6449]

We sell them in South Africa not sure where to get them in Brisbane. You can ask any Vallejo paint stockist in your area they should be able to get them for you.

[@terrydactyl2077]

@@philipzwart6449 hey sorry I meant they are sold here in Brisbane. And I confused your accent for mine at the start of the video (Australian). But as I heard you talk more I realised you are South African! Funny how we have some similarities in our accents. Do you ever find that about Australian accents? That they can be similar for certain words?

[@jeffholt9437]

C'mon Terry - you say they're the cheapest but you're too tight to buy / try? Are you from Scottish descent? 😊😊😊

[@reconmodelsvaughn469]

Most of my bottles have a brush I use it everyday

[@Chronix74]

mine never dries, have you noticed that?

[@CurrySoSpicy]

It takes for forever to dry, like days. And then it still will smudge if you touch it with your finger. I’ve had luck with giving it a few days to dry and then sealing it in with a matte varnish. I ruined a Star Wars millennium falcon model by not waiting long enough when I first used the product.
