Weathering effects: Rust, Chipping, Cracks, Rainmarks etc.

[GoForItPainting]

I'm a beginner and have found a lot of good ideas on this forum. I hope I can give you something with my video below. It is not a tutorial, but rather a summary of a research. I am calling it an inspiration video, but I will soon make the second episode with the colors I recommend which will be a classic "How to" video.

I would be happy if you continue with this topic. For example, I'd like to know how you get the undercarriage dirty. (for a street car, not 4x4)

This is great, thanks for sharing. I have found the best resources for weathering tutorials (YouTube) is from the guys that built Armor, Tanks, planes, military and Dioramas. Scale Creation World, Night Shift, Scale-a-Ton, and many more. I learned a huge amount from them and I have been fairly successful in recreating weathering with their help. While these are my creations, all of the weathering that I used I learned from these very helpful YouTubers.

That is some most excellent weathering, Bro! The rust is magnificent!

How do you make the amortization caused by salty, coastal air? I'll make a Revell Ford 37' truck with surf and I'd like to make some wear on the paint like the naval aircraft and vessels. I guess it works a bit differently for car paint. Thank you!

I did a similar project last year - it's fun to beat up on Herbie!

HI!

here's overall rust, done with the "air spray" method, using Tamya's brown lacquer base, then the air spray, then Tamya's acrylics, later scraped with a wet,short bristle cheap Dollar store paint brush. Vallejo washes for the rust "runs". 

Good luck with your project!

I like those Vallejo washes too - they work great!  I need to try some of the others from their range besides just the rust colored ones

Cool build!

Salt technique

- I've known about this technique for years but only just tried it for painting my '37 Ford.

How to paint Mud, Rust or Oil Stains with Splatter Painting:

The trick to convincing rusting, or weathering, is just NOT to over-do it!  The eye of the beholder will f'ill in the gaps' on a rusty/weathered finish, but too much instantly ruins the effect.  I'm not expert; I do very little of this, but I've fought a lot of 1:1 rust in sixty years!

Also, be aware of what materials do not rust: my favorite was the derelict Chevy Cameo pickup that was in SA's auto show issue a few years back; the builder had a fairly convincing derelict pickup going, but through ignorance of the above, he'd elaborately rusted-out the fender sides, which are of course fiberglass!

Great work displayed here. One thing I’ve notice on other subjects though is a lack of consistency. If the body and fenders show wear and tear don’t neglect the tires, rims and hubcaps too.

here i used a combination of technics:

first the entire body was sprayed with dark brown

next layer was light green, once dry i went over most of the body with 1000 wet sandpaper, gently exposing the dark color underneath

 next came a layer of "chipping" medium followed by a darker green layer, once the chipping is activated, it created the effect i was after of layers of older and newer paint and rusting and flaking paint.

after that came applications of washes of various rusty shades, pigments and some brush strokes here and there.
