Pro Tip: For the most realistic dust effects, apply in very thin layers and concentrate on areas where dust would naturally collect. Use a damp brush to create subtle variations in density.
The key is to work with highly diluted paint in multiple thin layers. Start with very subtle applications and build up gradually, focusing on areas where dust would naturally accumulate. Use a damp brush to soften edges and create natural-looking transitions.

Notes · Q & A
What's the difference between a paint and a wash?+
Paints are opaque colour for coverage; washes are thin, pigmented fluids that flow into recesses to add shading and depth. Most painters use both.
Can I use these paints in an airbrush?+
Many acrylics can be thinned for airbrushing — check the product description; ranges marked "Air" or "airbrush-ready" work straight from the bottle.
Do I need a primer?+
Yes for bare plastic, resin or metal — primer gives paint a surface to grip and prevents chipping.
