Dr. Cranky Posted September 15, 2012 Posted September 15, 2012 Oh yeah, I like it, bring on the gunk and the grunge. Keep it going. You are on a rusty roll tonight.

bryan_m Posted September 15, 2012 Author Posted September 15, 2012 my usual assortment of rusty crusty washes...........my own custom blends. add those and a little baking soda in the right places, and you have some nice nasty gunk build up...... more to come! thanks for lookin bryan
bryan_m Posted September 15, 2012 Author Posted September 15, 2012 one thing about adding baking soda to the paint washes.....make sure you seal it well with some dullcoat, if not...........and i learned this the hard way, it will turn back to white on you in 6 months! cheers bryan
bryan_m Posted September 15, 2012 Author Posted September 15, 2012 ok, here she is after all the washes.......looks like its been through a few nasty pennsylvania winters! now its on to weathering powders, and then a good coat of sealer... more to come, stay tuned cheers bryan
bryan_m Posted September 15, 2012 Author Posted September 15, 2012 i got the powders applied now.......i used tamiya weathering powders for the first time tonight, and the "oil stain" color works great, looks like oil to me! thats some nasty greasy stuff! more to come bryan
