Concrete Effect.

[Paul_C]

Can anyone suggest a good way of getting the right texture/colour for a good concrete effect please. I have some Plastikote Suedetouch as suggested by some but would like to get it a bit nearer to the real thing if possible. The bridge that I'm modelling is proving a tricky proposition colour wise.

The method i use is first coat, grey primer, then spray from a distance so the droplets are big, white, red and yellow.

 

give it a try on scrap.

For weathered concrete Precision Paints do the best shade I’ve ever used.

To get the rough effect sprinkle on talc when the paint is still wet. 
For different shades of concrete do three mixes of the PP weathered concrete, 1 original, 1 with a few drops of pale yellow enamel and another with a bit more pale yellow. 
To finish I dip a toothbrush in yellow paint and flick spots of the paint over the concrete once dry to represent moss

Thanks Andy and Heaton Lodge, I will give both methods a try.
