How would you suggest painting this?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/564072/6266305.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/564072/6266305.page GMT Re:Seeking advice for a "2nd layer of paint" effect on vehicles
The best results are achieved with the Hairspray Technique. Scale modelers have been using this method for ages and a quick Google search will give you a wide variety of tutorials. If you have an airbrush, or if you are willing to pick up some of the Army Painter spray cans, check out the video below for an introduction . The results are amazing.

If done intensively, and combined with washes and sponging, it can produce the effect of blistering of the paint.

Edit: Another question, If I wanted a 3 stage weathered style do I need to seal in the first weathering/hairspray technique?
As in:
  • I spray rust colour and apply hairspray
  • Apply first colour, let dy and weather it away on the edges - So I now have say a BA rhino thats red with rusted edges
  • I then hairspray again, dry and base coat in Deathskulls blue
  • I now then weather away the blue to reveal the rust and then keep going to remove a little more blue into the BA red


    • Do I need to seal inbetween? As in when weathering the blue I will surely disturb the lowest hairspray layer?
    oooo I wonder what effect you get if I dont even bother with the initial weathering and go straight with two paint layers. Might have to give that a go ]]>     http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/564072/6268935.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/564072/6268935.page GMT     Seeking advice for a "2nd layer of paint" effect on vehicles

    In that hairspray video he says that vallejo model air sprays didnt work very well, does anyone have any experience of this? As I have vallejo and am now well interested in trying this out :(


    Yes, the Vallejo paint tends to gum up pretty bad with these techniques. Instead of a worn look, you get more of a rubbed off look.

    You need to seal between each layer, other wise you will just end up removing earlier layers as well. I like to seal each layer with a 50/50 mix of Future and distilled water mixed in about a 30% mix of Vallejo or Tamyia Flat Varnish, then once all the weathering is done I do a final seal with Testors Dull coat.

    Thnaks for the info. Thats a complete b*tch :( only just got into airbrushing and bought vallejo air range, I think il have to give it ago, maybe if I use something more like a wire brush or toothpick instead of a brush. Maybe a brush followed up with a tooth pick to finish off. Really cant justify a whole new paint set for one technique :/ I'll just experiment. Thanks for the tip off

    Can I ask why you seal with such a mixture? Your mixing a varnish with future (which googling seems to be a polish? Although googling future with any word combo doesnt seem productive ) and then finishing with a dull coat. I can understand the dull coat finish, but could you just use the dull coat as the sealer?]]>     http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/564072/6269352.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/564072/6269352.page GMT     Seeking advice for a "2nd layer of paint" effect on vehicles
    I have been building models for a long time, 20 years or so, mostly military stuff. Future Floor Polish has been a great asset for modelers, and serves a lot of purposes. I guess I use the mixture mostly out of habit, cost and experience. I do not like to use Testor's as an intermediate sealer, it is very expensive and leaves a bit of a tooth behind. The Future mix I make is quite smooth and works real well for this type of weathering technique.]]>     http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/564072/6270318.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/564072/6270318.page GMT
