Vallejo Pigment FX 73118 Fresh Rust Color (35 ml)
Brand: Vallejo

Vallejo Pigment FX 73118 Fresh Rust (35 ml) is a fine powdered Vallejo Pigment FX in the shade of fresh rust. It is suitable for rust, oxidation, weathered welds, damaged edges, exhaust pipes, tracks, and areas where corrosion and dirt naturally accumulate on vehicles.

Apply the dry pigment with a brush to corners, around screws, on tracks, exhausts, or damaged paintwork. For more pronounced rust effects, mix it with Pigment Binder or a small amount of water to form a paste, and after it dries, touch up with a clean brush.

Technical Information and Recommendations

  • Type: fine powder pigment for model patina
  • Volume: 35 ml
  • Uses: dust, soil, rust, soot, smoke, leaves, patina, terrain, and dioramas
  • Dry application: brush, dabbing, rubbing into the surface, and gradual layering
  • Wet application: mix with Pigment Binder 26233 or a small amount of water to achieve the desired consistency
  • Surface: Looks most natural on a matte or soft satin finish
  • Fixation: a fixative or a very light coat of varnish; varnish may darken the pigment and partially alter the final shade
  • Combinations: Wash FX, Weathering FX, and Diorama FX
  • Base colors: Model Color, Model Air, or Surface Primer
  • Tools: model-making brushes

Work with the pigments gradually and in small amounts. Dry application works well for a light dusting and to even out the surface, while wet application is suitable for thicker layers, mud, rust, or deposits. Before final fixation, it’s a good idea to test the result on an inconspicuous area, as both the varnish and the fixative can make the pigment appear darker.
