Creating a rust and worn look with paint

« What's the Trick

Creating the Rust Effects

To make the magic happen and you need to do is apply hot water to the areas you want to make the effect/rust appear.

Then let the water sit for 5 minutes or more. Remember, as I told you the water will break down the air spray and allow you to scratch the paint off.

 

I used a piece of wooden dowel to scratch the paint off. Then I used a 3M scrubbing pad to feather out the scratches.

 

Here are some different rust and worn spots I did on the case

 

Here are a few more images on the warn look on the case.

It came out much better than I expected and I am very happy with the look. The effect looks real, even when seen in person.
