I was wondering if anyone that has done rc body painting can help me with a project I am working on. I wanted to paint a body that has the look effect of being rusty. I was thinking of just dusting the whole body in an idoize brown with some thciker areas. Then paint my main color behind it would that work correct. I hope that this makes sense and I know it sounds weird.
Thanks for any help

The effects of "dusting" as you described will give you a "dulled" multi-toned mottled/splotchy finish with hints of gloss in the thinner areas.

You didn't mention if you were using an airbrush?

If you are using an airbrush, you might want to check out this site (http://www.cfxpaintworks.com/modules.php?name=Forums). They are happy to help with any questions you might have. :thumbsup:

Ill check out that site

I actually did this. I used Polly S Rust paint (for trains) near the bottom of a fender on a truck body.It's enamel so don't use much. I then faded some Faskolor brown into that and then the body color. I think mixing brown and a little yellow or white would have been the better way to do this,though.
