My phone has being doing random things for the last few days - call me a cynic but I suspect they send stuff overnight to mess them up once they decide its time you spent more on a new one. Anyway enjoyed that vid. I've tried the salt method, and covering the lot in rust before rubbing most off but haven't done the sponge yet so will give that a go. salt method is better I think if you are doing it as a kit, when you paint it rusty first, add the salt then over spray with the wagon paint colour then clean the salt off to reveal the rust underneath Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.C.M Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Morning Ian, The new Camera seems to be working well the picture and sound quality seems better too. I notice you use enamel and acrylic paints together, what do you use to thin the Acrylic and what do you normally use when spraying? Cheers Peter.
