Review: Best rust effect I've used - This does what you want- it leaves a textured, crusty rust effect that looks as real as it gets. I like it a lot better than the AK interactive rust, which is really more of a thin paint with no texture. The only thing I DON'T like about this is that the rust dries pretty quick on the brush, so reapplying is tedious. You can reactivate it with water so it's no big deal to thin, remove or wash out- I'm guessing that's the price of the excellent texturing aspect (well worth dealing it).
Review: The Literal Best Thing I’ve Bought in This Hobby - I should start by saying after having to take a hiatus from painting because of moving, I started anew with a dedicated desk and work space and fell in love with the Death Guard. I really yearned for and loved the “rust punk” theme and wanted to run with it. I have gotten all kinds of great paints and technical assets to help me achieve that goal after studying what everyone else was using and crafting my first ever army (compared to painting lone minis), and through a Reddit post I found this beautiful thing. I uploaded some pictures just to attest to how insanely beautiful and incredible it is. The minis in the picture aren’t completed cause I’m working on different techniques and ideas, but all I did was apply Lead Belcher, and Warplock Bronze, then applied some of the Rust and oh my god. I knew then I’d found the secret ingredient; the thing that makes your mini go from artificial rust to actual rust and make it look beautiful, defined, weathered, and just jaw-dropping. I am going to purchase more ASAP because I foresee using it in spades to finally nail that “rust punk” dream I have. Just incredible, and I meant what I said in my title by this is the single-best thing I’ve bought in this whole hobby and can’t recommend it enough for any painters. Even in non-Death Guard armies, this would give vehicles, weapons, and even architecture or terrain that “grim dark” weathered look that is just so Warhammer 40K.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the cleanup method? Soap and water, mineral spirits, enamel thinner?**
A: You can remove or modify with just water. A q-tip, paper towel, or brush will do the trick!

**Q: Can this be used on plastic?**
A: Yes I have used it on plastic, it works better on a painted surface though

**Q: Is this item flammable?**
A: Yes, this item is highly flammable.

**Q: How much will this cover?**
A: It's difficult to say as the paint can be used in so many different ways. Applied heavily for darker rust, thinned with water to flow into details and brighter rust, for steaking and picking out detail, or full coverage.  

Applied moderarely to a flat surface with no thinning this 25ml can cover approximately 3 to 4 square feet.

A great adjunct for force aging articles. We professionally do this sort of thing and found this material (though expensive) very easy to work with producing great results.
