Sergey Posted January 31, 2021 Author Share Posted January 31, 2021 Thank you, guys, for your comments! To finish this build I desided to weather dump bed inside. After couple of heavy loads (especialy - gravel) paint starts to slide away, leaving a bare metal, which starts to rust. I started with silver alkid and dry brush. This is example of a wrong way: So the next stage was to cover all this nightmare, using air brush with Mr Hobby's Burnt iron. The paper on photo is template. The corners were sprayed with matt black. And dots of rust were squirted from hard brush. My first attempt. I guess I must change the brush & try different paint thickness Also I learned to use pigment powder to make ground, stuck on the corners. First I fill corners with PVA glue and strew the powder over it. Then press it down with a brush. When I got powder soaked with glue, I srtew a little more powder over. PVA leaves rubber like tape, when it dries, and it is better to cover it with a powder. Next I sprayed it all using Mr hobby matt varnish with minimal preassure to fix the powder. Tell me - what do you think about this work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mopar - D Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Looks like it’s a used dump truck ready for another load to haul. Excellent weathering! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

signguy2108 Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Fantastic job on this one! I've got a couple of hood conversions, but they have required a lot of cleanup, so they are in the closet for now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
