Vallejo Rust Wash

Rust Wash is the fast track to convincing corrosion, part of Vallejo's clever Model Wash range. This water-based acrylic runs into panel lines, bolts and recesses and dries matt, dropping instant rust staining and grimy streaks onto vehicles, machinery and metal terrain. It's equally useful as a rust-toned filter to age a whole surface at once.

Instant rust staining. Pairs perfectly with rust pigments and a matt varnish to seal the effect.
