🟤 Weathering pigments

Intermediate

Powder pigments build up dust, mud and rust exactly where a real rig collects it.

🖌️ How it's done

Brush dry pigment into lower panels, wheel wells and around bolts; fix it with a pigment fixer or a light matte clear. Layer light dust over darker mud for a realistic gradient. Less is more — build up slowly.
