How to apply a rust effect to a Hot Wheels custom 

The effect looks great! I have had very good success with using Triangle Coatings Sophisticated Finishes Rust Antiquing Set on plastic models. It's a two-bottle set. One bottle contains a paint with iron particles that you apply to the model wherever you want rust. The other bottle contains a rust activator solution that you apply over the iron paint that will form rust in a few minutes. Really cool effect.

Absolutely genius ideas and great video presentation, once again! Thanks for sharing your creative talents with us in a very user friendly and well put-together video.

Your work always amazes me. I wish I had all the proper tools.

I'd like to see a video where you go for a true rat rod look or a treatment that looks like the car was made from junkyard parts before final finish work was done. So different color body panels in varying levels of wear and rust.

This was super helpful thank you. Personally I prefer the paint on look as i think it looks more interesting

Awesome! Revisited 2 years later for a refresher course. I like your method.

You have some great ideas and custom techniques. Do love to custom Hotwheels myself and thanks for the videos.

Wow man. Thank u for these awesome video. The customs that you made looks great. Take care

The paint on in selective patches is what I want to achieve on my rusty custom. Although I have seen some pure rust cars in reality, but their age has been massive. Both effects are great. I have the tamiya powder , I also have some iron filings to tryout. Thanks as always for the tips.

Thank you for this video as it really helped me a lot - I did this with my Rodger Dodger and used only four coats and I was so pleased with the results - 10/10!

awesome effects! gonna try this for sure!

Fantastic!! Looks very realistic👍🏼

Thank you, I'm going to give this a try. Great video

I was impressed by the wonderful technique! I would love to try it too.

awesome sir, but excusme to ask u, when u apply the effect (tamiya), are u using some coating before on that diecast or u just applied directly on that material, thanks🙏

Thanks for sharing another awesome how to video my friend, I always learn a lot from you. I think I'll try to make a "paint on" custom, it's also a great idea because it's quite cold here in my area and with this technique I won't have to worry about the orange peel effect, this time will be the more "goosebumps" the better the result. Lol.

Paint on! Nice job! I’ll give it a try on my Apache tow truck.

Those both look GREAT!

wow, pieces of art.

I just started using tamiya weathering powders. They work so well!! I dunno if I have many of the ones I’ve used tamiya weathering powders on here on RU-vid. Haven’t uploaded in a long time

I like the paint on effect. Very cool.

I did this on a truck that I am doing but I want a way to make the glass look weathered too. I was thinking hit it with some steel wool and then hit it with some softer steel wool to polish it after the first. Do you have any ways to do this?

Rust looked authentic!

How do you prefer to strip the paint?

Paint on looks great brother thanks

I am working on a "burnt out" hot wheels car, what are some good techniques to make the car look heat distressed?

I am working on a ghost busters custom on this exact car as I watch this video

Awesome technique

Pretty frigging brilliant. Thanks

Do you have to do anything special between colors for the brush

How well do these techniques work with plastic body vehicles?

I like The paint on look. I will try this.

Does it matter if you strip the paint off or not?

Do you think that if I leave it outside after doing this, would the powder come off?

Did the windows on the first car you literally added dust and dirt?

How do I remove the rivets without a drill?pls answer

I may try that on some of my cars soon.

I want to do this since my old Chevy truck hot wheels is chipping, so I want to work with that to still make it look good.

Not bad and cool techniques but you could have used some filler on the eight crate?

Can this affect work on practice models

another great video... thank you

What do u all use and where can I get it

When i put this on my 53 Chevy it didnt have the powder look.

Here because I want to start making gaslands cars :)

I’ve got to try this 👍🏻

Just saying you shouldn’t rust the car fully you should do areas that are prone to rusting like chips or scratches

Great job!

Definitely plaint on

What the heck happened to the glass?

Awesome work, great share.

awesome!

I just used red brown salt plus sea salt and put them in water

Great stuff....a few ideas I’ve not tried on my rail wagons ........appreciated video....this should have been on the rusting video.....fred

Cool!

Sick

Paint on. 👍🏻

leave it outside 4head

title:how to make your car look rusty me: keep it out side for a year

Or strip the paint and spray it with salt water

My method to make it look rusty: Place it outside for a few days. :-)

Very cool¡¡

Did you wish to have "Undo" when building models? Check this out: store.steampowered.com/app/1164250/Model_Builder/

_Tf you don't need to add a rust effect just make it rust lmao so dumb_ For the 3 people who think I'm being serious, I'm not this looks really good, and is therapeutic to watch.
