New Rust Vallejo 73118: intense orange and realistic active corrosion

Extra-fine powder pigment designed for bright orange rust, active corrosion and fresh rust deposits with natural finishes. Its warm, saturated orange tone adds strong contrast and a clear sense of newly formed corrosion on metal surfaces. The fine grain size allows smooth glazes and transitions over metal, plastic or resin, and its non-flammable nature makes it safe to use indoors. The 35 ml jar will last for many weathering projects and dries without unwanted shine.

For dry application, place the pigment with a soft brush wherever rust would appear by runoff or exposure (under rivets, around bolts, along weld seams and on edges). Blend with a clean brush to soften panels or to create rust streaks and oxidation halos. If you want light fixation without losing texture, touch the pigment with a brush dampened in pigment fixer/binder; for more volume, mix it with binder to obtain a paste and build crusts and raised build-ups. Compatible with water, acrylics and varnishes; clean tools with water and soap.

Suggested uses: on industrial and military vehicles and machinery it creates fresh rust on weld beads, joints, grills and chassis; on ships, bridges, wagons and containers it simulates bright orange streaks and newly corroded plates; in urban and coastal dioramas it adds fresh rust patinas over fences, railings, tanks and pipes. For extra realism, alternate with brown/red rust tones and dark grime, sealing when needed to preserve the layered weathering effect.
