Many thanks for this tutorial, I have just done it on a Baja Bug SCX24 body and I am amazed. easy to make and above all the result is perfect 👍😉
The results are very impressive. Rust works best when it is still quite subtle and it is possible to easily overdo it and add too much corrosion. As a finisher, I'd mask off the sweep of the wipers and use a thin layer of TS-71 Smoke on the windscreen to replicate dust.
Bloody awesome. Patina never looked more real. Thanks so much for the guide.
Looks amazing!
Looks great. Great job explaining what you’re doing.
I love hard bodies ot combines two of my hobbies model car building and rc racing and rc cars period. I lovey carpet rc pval and road course 1/10 scale stuff but also love my true scale realistic crawlers and hot rods that look as scale as you can get them with hard body or styrene bodies and all the 3d printing parts
Masterful!
That's a brilliant technique and looks really amazing.
What a great video, I will definitely be trying this
The brain cells comment gained a sub😂
Good job, this patina is great. 👍👍
Excellent video! Terrific craftsmanship, great audio, and excellent video production values. You are definitely at the pro-level CZcamsr production values now 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This is brilliant, id love to give this method a go....
thanks for the video, I watched "a little" ;) on this topic and I must say that I like your work the most out of all the ones I've seen, thanks for showing how you do it. you helped me a lot.
Thanks for the video going to give it a shot on an old international RC body
Awesome work have never tried this but it is something I will definitely try in the near future
Never heard of the hairspray method, have always used rubber cement and lotsa dry brushing. Great "how to" video. Gonna give this a shot.
Good job
Very cool indeed.! 👍 👍 👍
Great job very realistic
🔵🔵🔵🙂🙂🙂👍👍👍🔵🔵🔵
That doesn't look great. It looks awesome, amazing 🎉🎉🎉
I like the white clean body but this is interesting. Looks like a lot of work, but the payoff is worth it. I was thinking more of a weathering kit designed for models, but this adds the 3D effect you mentioned of the rust coming through the paint. Well done.
👍
Great vid, thank you. Could you say what type of thinner you used?
Fantastic video - just wondering would a used electric toothbrush give the same result or would that over do it and end up like you’re using an electric sander🤔, just wondering as I hate scrubbing and always looking for an easier way to do this sort of thing😂
This is still new to me. Any reason you do the last black wash after the clear coat instead of before? Awesome job by the way. It's inspired me.
You could do the oil in the panel lines before clear coating. The only reason I did it in that order was I was planning to add more rust effects and I wanted to protect the work I had already done. But in the end I didn't like the additional rust effects so removed them with thinner.
@@ChinaExpatsRCthank you. I'm going to give this a try soon. I appreciate the help.
Have you tried the water and salt trick method? This hair spray method looks to take alot longer
Do you think if you added layers of different browns the rust would look more realistic??
Yes, I do that at 1:30
wow, nearly as much rust as my 86 SR5 Hilux back in the day and the same lovely blue...
This made me chuckle thanks.
Does this method and steps apply to Lexan bodies?
It won't work if you're applying it to the inside of a lexan body.

It depends on the model.. I've just gotten a Yikong Bronco & I'm going to try to keep it as clean as possible..
But I've weathered other RCs, usually an older body style like my 1970s F-150,I've rusted, primered spots & dented that one.
Thanks for the videos mate, stay safe out there & best wishes from Scotland 🏴 🙏 ♥ 📻 🎮 🔋 🚓 🚒 🚑 🚐 🚔 🚕 🚖 🚗 🚘 🚙 🚚 🚛 🚜 🏎️ 🏍️ 🚤 🛥️ ✈️ 🛩️ 🚁.!
Wtf.... hairspray is not chipping
Acrylic rustolium used.
It takes a lot of water and rubbing at first. You need the water to penetrate through the paint layer.
@ChinaExpatsRC spent about 40min with a heavy duty plastic brush. Tried my plastic chisel to get it started. Solid bond. Maybe the hairspray was too good (dried 24hrs - used regular hold)... maybe I didn't use a thick enough later. Maybe it needs clear coat prior so paint doesn't bond.
@@brappineau4161 is rustolium a really thick paint? Can you scratch some paint away? You need to get water to touch the hairspray layer so it starts disolving and shedding the paint as it does.
@@ChinaExpatsRC it is thick. I intentionally used a razor to remove top layer paint to expedite the process and still could not chip it. Perhaps enamel would be better than acylic.
Nice tutorial bud
If you didn't clear coat it, it would continue to chip as you drove it..?
Any big scratch is likely to go all the way through to the plastic even if you clear coat it. You can touch those up with more brown rust paint though.
