Nice video ! Can you please explain how to do it that the brown color runs down the rusty parts. Rain makes the paint run in reallife, and that effect is really great ! Sorry for my bad english 😅
You mentioned that you can repeat the salt technique. I'm working on a REALLY old junker and would like the car's primer to show through. Can I put down the layer of rust coloured paint first, do the salt technique with grey (to simulate the primer), seal it and repeat it with the vehicle's final top coat of colour? I want it to look rusty but also have the paint worn away just to the grey "primer" in spots.
can you use the salt for a really rough texture by sealing it in with acrylic varnish for example? or will that fubar the paint over time? i'm thinking of using it for battle damage or ground effects etc
I keep having a problem with the paint around the salt turning a lighter colour, and it also happens wherever some of the water flowed after being in contact with the salt.
The most likely cause is over application of water. If there's any pooling, it will leave a residue behind. You can use this intentionally to create some neat effects, but if you don't want it then a bit less water should be the cure.
@@SecretWeaponMiniatures Many thanks for the reply, I was thinking along those lines myself, but needed confirmation from someone with more experience. As you point out, you can however use the effect to give the paint a blotched faded effect.
