Flaking paint

[chunkypeanutbutter]

I was thinking of painting a car say red oxide then a coat over it with little bits of something to set on it so I could peel them off and see the other color beneath it. Any tips? I was thinking small bits of rubber cement applied with a toothpick.

Using salt in a similar way to what you describe is a popular weathering technique.

Random rip small pieces of masking tape and put on the red primer when dry. Lift your tape up with a hobby knife and pull the tape off to reveal the primer. Another is to sand thru the top coat to reveal the primer underneath to give a worn faded paint...
