That's one piece of real rusty thing u made here.

Can you post a completed "how to do it?"


Thanks

Okay guys. I have completed a rusty door.


I took a fresh door, and basicly blobbed glue all over it.


I then waited for the plastic to soften on the glue blobs and stabbed the hell out of it with tweezers.


Then once id made enough mess of the door, i waited an hour or so for it to re harden fully.


I then sanded it roughly with 400 grit, then 600 grit and cleaned off.


I then layed down the colour coat and waited for that to harden.


I then took some two shades of brown enamel paint and blobbed it like a 5 year old lol.


After about 20 mins i took a large paintbrush dipped in enamel thinner and brushed it on and wiped away the excess. As enamel thiners doesn't react with cellulose paint i can brush this on and it wont touch the base coat.


Repeat until desired results. In order for this to work you must use two different paint types. Cellulose for base and enamel for rust
