I love the tiny black spots all over. Looks like you would expect on a car that's been painted several times and then sat in a junkyard for 50 years!

It looks great, I'll be applying your techniques in my next project. Thanks

I love using AK’s streaking grime.

Great technique. You can also add bubbling rust by sprinkling fine stone powder where rust would be bad like door corners and dabbing it with rust coloured paint.

Have you ever tried using Hairspray or Chipping Fluid? It would make the weathering a lot easier by requiring less sanding to break through the layers. You just black base it as usual then spray it with Chipping Fluid or Hairspray, then paint it as usual and when it's time to weather it lightly wet sand it, the water will help loosen the Chipping medium and reveal the layers. I really like this resin cast body, it's the trunk/rear quarter panels that make it. 👍👍

Ive got some chipping stuff, just havent tried it yet. Honestly I keep forgetting lol

Forgot to mention that after you've sanded it to where you like it to seal it with a matte varnish/sealer before doing your final weathering or else you could expose more of the chipping medium to moisture and it will expose more of the layers than you may want. 👌

3 coats Light Metal Grey, 2 light Coats Off White, then 2 coats there on of the Paint job History of Your Choice. Vary the Grit usage spiratically once it loiks knackered use an M3 buff Pad to blend the Grit varient and then use a Spray Bottle to apply dirty Water colour. Once dried keep Layering till the weathering is where Your at. Quick Buff pad again and then Matte Clear coat. Optional when the Clear coat is Tacky throw some Mixed Yellow, Red, and Multi Brown Pastel dust at it to give Live Dirt effect. Looks EPIC when done. Clear coat between Dusting Layers so if Ya like a Previous part and think youve wrecked it You can buff it out

Looks sweet. I’m about to paint my first rc4wd hard body and not sure if I need to use tamiya?

@RCeveryday 6 ай бұрын

Tamiya paints are very fine spraying and very durable. If you are going to do a patina style paint job I wouldnt. The few times I tried it doesnt sand through easily enough. Going shiny or solid color tamiya all the way

@@RCeveryday I’m planning to do the pizza planet truck from Toy Story which would require a weathered yellow color with rust and dents. Would that be considered patina? If so what kind of paint do you use? Up until now I’m only familiar with lexan bodies so pardon my ignorance

@jigworx6020 6 ай бұрын

I’m also wondering which yellow I should use for a weathered and faded peeling yellow. Appreciate the help!

@RCeveryday 6 ай бұрын

Rust and dents would be patina. Most of what I have done is a bit more extreme patina compared to the pizza planet truck. There are a ton of great videos on faded and peeling paint effects from the model railroaders on youtube. Chipping fluid and or the hair spray effect would fit the bill. Ive not done any of that yet, but some great videos on it out there.

@@RCeverydaywhat was the purpose of sanding the red primer, is that just to thin it down a little bit for later?

@michaelwhite7566 5 күн бұрын

Man you e inspired me to try to weather or patina my first hard body. I applied the fist layer of black waited 5 hours and did next color or flat brick red. My question is how long do I wait to do a wet sand to bring the black through before I apply final color? I know temp and humidity play a toll in cute time but kinda just looking for a ball park idea so I don’t screw this up. Love your work and hope to get to your level one day.

@RCeveryday 5 күн бұрын

The longer you can wait the better, I still rush everything to a fault. At least overnight should be plenty. The good thing about patina is its really hard to mess up. Once you start wetsanding youll know if it is dry enough, if it needs more time it will gum up the sandpaper still. It all depends on how thick a coat you applied as well. Just remember, no stress, its not shiny! Have fun with it and once you get to the final color for sanding, less is more is the absolute best advice.

@ man I’m so inpatient it makes my life hard and for sone reason I never learn and slow down. Where do you find that stuff you brushed on and wiped off?

@RCeveryday 5 күн бұрын

The ak rust streaks. A lot of hobbytowns sell it but it’s on amazon as well. Just be careful if you are using rustoleum paint. I use a vht high temp satin clear once I’ve sanded everything to seal it. The rust streaks will strip the rustoleum right off without it. It’s available at autozone and oreillys. Discovered it by accident and it has really improved the finish a ton. Adds depth to the color while protecting the paint from the streaks.

@@RCeveryday thanks for all the input. I’ll get that vht tomorrow and I just ordered the AK rust probably just let the body sit till next weekend that I know it’s dry enough and I’ll have all the supplies I need.

@RCeveryday 5 күн бұрын

That is a solid plan, itll be fully cured and ready to go without a doubt then. Good luck with it and remember, less is more, at least on the final layer of sanding, lol

Would you recommend this same process on a factory Marlin Crawler body? I’m bored with the red body.

@RCeveryday 11 ай бұрын

Yes it would work well on that. Since that body is smoother it would take less sanding too.

@jeremyjock 11 ай бұрын

would those weathering/rust wash colors work over a matte black finish? i have an Element Enduro with the scratch n wear finish (matte black w brick red underneath), but i would like to put more effort into it instead of just sanding off the black. thanks for any help!

@RCeveryday 11 ай бұрын

You could. It would be more subtle over that finish.

I'm about to use the all rest streak but it seems to be removing the paint in the test piece any tips?

@RCeveryday 3 ай бұрын

I’ve started using the vht flame proof matte clear on all of mine before the rust streaks. Seals it and adds some depth. Allows you more time to adjust the rust to your liking too.

@tonycostello90 3 ай бұрын

Are you mixing it with mineral spirits at all?

@RCeveryday 3 ай бұрын

The rust streaks? I use it straight out of the bottle.

That IS Bob Ross ! Did you say that was printed? I used this technique years ago, but since the invention of the interweb, literally 5000 ways to weathering, so confusing thank you for reminding me of how this should be done, and just about the same in real life, From Ocala Florida
