Product overview

AK013 Rust Streaks is a 35 ml enamel streaking product for reproducing narrow rust runs on vehicles and other models. Apply individual marks with a fine brush, choosing their placement and length to suit the surface. The enamel remains workable with White Spirit, allowing each line to be faded after application instead of remaining as a hard painted stripe.

  • Shake the bottle thoroughly before use.
  • Build the rust effect from separate controlled streaks rather than a broad coat.
  • Fade the marks with a flat brush moistened in White Spirit until the transition is softened.

Notes · Q & A

What is a model wash and when would I use one?

A wash is a very thin, highly pigmented acrylic fluid that flows into recessed detail by capillary action. Apply it over a sealed base coat to add shading around panel lines, rivets and surface texture, or use it as a full-surface filter to shift the overall tone of the model.

Do I need to seal the surface before applying a wash?

A smooth, sealed surface gives the wash a consistent flow and makes cleanup easier. A coat of gloss or satin varnish before the wash prevents it from staining a matt base coat unevenly.

How do I apply a wash and clean up the excess?

Load a soft brush and touch it to the area you want to shade; the wash will flow into the recesses on its own. After roughly 20 minutes of drying time, wipe away any unwanted residue from raised surfaces with a clean, slightly damp brush or cotton bud. These washes are water-based, so tools clean with water.

Can I apply a wash with an airbrush?

Yes. The manufacturer confirms these washes can be applied by brush or airbrush. A light, even pass with an airbrush works well as an overall filter to unify the tone of a model or add a subtle colour shift across a large surface.
