vancouver71 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 As I am building a ratrod, I have tried to practice a rusty paint on a old body. But at the end, It doesn't look good to me. What do tou think? Mickael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vancouver71 Posted February 15, 2015 Author Share Posted February 15, 2015 Thank you but I used Chris chapman Technique. That why I am asking you if it looks good to you? I did not say the technique did not work but if the result looks real? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevenGuthmiller Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Lets put it this way. I've never seen a car rusted like that. Just too much going on. Only my opinion. I'm no expert on rust. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Rick Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 (edited) It looks like a psychco camouflage pattern, the "rust" looks like brown paint..... rust is various shades & tones, not just one. Placement, I think the logical way is to focus more on just the areas that would receive rust, if it were a real car; rust normally is more concentrated on areas which are flat, because the water / moisture tends to be there, and then travels via gravity to vertical spots & continues.Think of why the rust has formed & that should tell you where. Are you trying for surface rust, rust damage, or a combination ? Consider making your own real rust, get a little jar / container with a lid, put a hunk of steel wool in it & add water, leave a few days until the rust forms & you'll have real rust to paint with, to use along with paint. Grab a bunch of pics from google, print them off & have them handy in front of you as reference; there's plenty of them on there. Good luck Edited February 15, 2015 by Krazy Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Myers Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Camo first came to mind. Then I thought, "I've seen that somewhere before". a nice marbled steak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacoballardtattoo Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 It does not give the feel of rust. I love the rusted out models and will be doing some of my own. I have little hands on experience with them, but often I see where there is just to much rust. I love rat rods and have worked on a few real ones the thing I have seen is there is less rust and more flat old paint. Maybe try keeping the rust to the areas that normally rust (edges of the roof, fender wells, lower portion of the body) and focus more on mat paints in dark or faded colors. Not site if this helps or not, please let me know if it does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Geiger Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I agree that any of the Rusteoleum red primer rust jobs just look like paint. I use chalks for most of my work. You can buy an earthtone set for around $5. You sand the chalk sticks to get dust, but most folks just dust it onto models for a minimal effect, and it will wear off with handling. I actually paint and texture mine using a two brush method with Testors Dullcote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve The Rusty Corvette was a model that was long on my Bucket List. I finally built it for the MidAtlantic NNL's Corvette theme a few years ago. Built in about 2 weeks, I've had a lot of fun with it. I love to put it on a show table and watch from a distance. It gets some interesting looks! And every so often I run into someone who thinks I didn't know Corvettes were fiberglass... and for them, the license plate says it all....

Ace-Garageguy Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 This is one of the best peeling-down-to-primer-and-rusting-too jobs I've seen. Looks very real. http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=98701 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hooknladderno1 Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 You might want to check out Dr. Cranky's Youtube channel. He is the king of all things rust! Good luck! David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
