Magic in a bottle

This stuff is like magic. You just paint it on, wait for it to dry and then hey presto, you've got rust! It's water soluble so then you can wipe off excess with a damp cloth or reactivate it with a brush with some water to get the desired effect. It says its fine to handle once dried, but i sealed it with clear matte varnish and I've had zero issues. The paint separates very easily and requires mixing up thoroughly before use. I've got a vortex paint mixer which I use, however it might also be an idea to get in there with a cocktail stick to physically mix it up before use as well.Highly recommend. Super easy to use and gets great looking results. Well worth a buy for any model hobbyist. Best rust effect I've used by far!

Better than expected!! Great stuff.

Absolutely brilliant stuff!! Bought a huge cow skull for the garden (undercover, it won't get wet) but the effect wasn't what I wanted, I wanted a rustic metal look.After watching a lot of videos I decided to purchase and I'm absolutely blown away by the look, exactly what I wanted!!!! Went on easily with a small brush, dried quickly and still have 1/4 of a bottle left. Will deffo buy again and highly recommend.Looks slightly orangey in the picture but the kitchen cabinet light makes it look this way, in 'real life' it looks exactly like rust!

Brilliant Rust Effect Paint

Dirty Down Rust is an absolute game changer for me in my miniature painting, it's colour produced is awesome.I was inspired to buy this after seeing numerous people on tiktok as well as youtube shorts using it to produce awesome effects and so bit the bullet to buy it. The quality of the rust effect is unparalleled.The drying time is quite fast when applied neat, but when diluted with water amplifies the drying time, and also introduces different colour variations and light levels into the rust.Incredibly functional and enjoyable to use

pretty decent

the first pot i bought was great, it went on flat and gave a rusty oily effect that dried matte the second bottle however would dry (in places) really light orange and crispy which wasnt great seeing as the rest if my builds were based on the oily rust...that being said however it is in its own right a very cool effect im just having really mixed feelings about this as someone who paints daily. shouldnt be too hard to bring the oily effect back however with a second wash.

Easy and effective

Awesome product for rusty steel it almost feels like cheating. Photo of some of my first ever miniatures and the weathering couldn't have been easier.

Superb product for rust effects, highly recommended. Note it can deactivate with water.

Fantastic product for getting rust effects. Can be reactivated with water which is helpful. Very easy to use and looks fantastic. I would recommend using a varnish after using the product. You can see it in action on the miniature I’ve photographed.

Mini painters dream.

This stuff makes painting rust effects quick and easy and it looks fantastic. It's re-activated by water so you can really play with the rust streak effects to your hearts content. I have yet to find another rust effect that even comes close. Expenisve but worth it.
