Vallejo Pigments - Rust

Rust is the essential mid-tone in any corrosion kit — the classic red-brown that reads instantly as weathered, oxidised metal. This ultra-fine Vallejo pigment brushes on dry for all-purpose rust dusting and streaking, or fixes with thinner and binder for thicker, crusty build-up. If you're only starting out with pigments, this is the natural first bottle: it does the bulk of the rust work on its own.
