Hello everyone.
Some of you have asked me for a tutorial on some of the oxide techniques I use. Well, I tried to do something about it.
I do not know if it will be what you expect, anyway, I hope it will be useful for you.
Many times we want to give a certain hyper-realistic aspect to some pieces.
I want to show you how to paint the rust effect with 3D texture.
In this case we are going to paint a metal part, specifically a union with reduction of diameters.
To do this, we will use a simple plastic cap to which we will give the most realistic appearance, resembling a piece exposed to the outdoors.
For this work we will need:
Priming in light color.
Cream color paint
Color oxide paint
Black transparent finish paint.
We will also use alcohol.
In this case it is preferable to use alcohol in gel. But if it is not available, a 96 ° will be enough.
We take the plastic cap and wash it well with soap and water, to remove any traces of dirt, dust, grease, or the product that contained the base of the cap itself.
We will hold it on the inside with tweezers
Apply a primer coat with a brush in any light color.
With a cream color, we apply several layers, WITHOUT allowing to dry between the layers, giving more thickness in some areas and even completely covering the transparency of the plastic.
It is important to create areas with more thickness than others, since this will help us to give the perfect touch to the wear of the material by corrosion.
We took some black transparent finishing paint.
We paint the edges of the piece with black.
And the lower and upper part, randomly leaving some areas unpainted in black.
We diluted some rust-colored paint in a few drops of gel alcohol.
Until getting a thick but fluid consistency.
We give a first layer of rust.
We try to paint more in the areas painted in the firts steps.
Repeat the previous step several times, especially in the thickest areas.
With dry brush and cream color, we highlight the whole piece very smoothly.
And we have it finished.
Hope you like it and find it helpul.
Regards
Xavier
