I received a few queries last week, asking me how I had painted the roofing in my corrugated iron video. So I'm releasing two videos in response - one showing how to paint a weathered, galvanized natural metal finish (this week) and next week I'll be showing you the easiest method ever for painting rusted metal.
For a galvanized metal finish, all you need is:
- a dark metallic paint
- a light metallic paint
- a light grey paint
- salt
That's it. Easy-peasey.
I'll let the video do the talking, but I think it gives a suitably realistic and weathered finish. The spots of darker metal could be slightly smaller to be more in scale, but I can live with it.
Video is embedded below, but in case that doesn't work here is the link:
How to paint a galvanized metal effect for scale models
Cheers,
Dave
