Hey just go to hobby lobby, or order this works perfectly. And looks awesome. Done a couple pairs of gascans with this.

That is amazing. They don't sell that stuff over here on Britain. Looking for a viable alternative but not having much luck

Just added some more colour/texture using Ammo Oilbrusher on the lower front nose bridge frame and some Green Stuff World Red Oxide Rust.

Hi.
Thank you for responding.

I have just read it. The finish you have on your pictures looks to be very different to that of Dan Beers.

It could just be the light source, or maybe a different undercoat.

Lighting: flash was used, wrongly it appears.

Ha!
I think spray can is the way forward, but I am struggling to find the right product. I also need a cheap pair off eBay to do it to.

My plan was as follows:
1. Hairdryer to remove icons.
2. Disassemble and clean thoroughly.
3. Sand down fine grit and clean again.
4. Primer grey and leave 24 hrs.
5. Spray up (with ???) in light layers and leave 24 hrs.
6. Laquer and no touchy 3 days.
7. Flex amazing rust sunnys.

But the paint is a total unknown.

I like using a brush instead of spray. It leaves a kinda rough texture. Fine rough texture. And looks more uniform rust to me.

Did you prep the surface much?

How tough is the finish?
