Step 1. Choose a primer - choose either a Gun Metal Grey or Black Primer or the textured primer Road Rash. Road Rash is a grit like undercoat that gives your workpiece a gnarly, corroded iron effect and can instantly transform one material into an aged piece of metal.

Step 2. Next apply your chosen metallic paint - choose either copper, bronze or iron for the specific metal result you are looking to achieve. The metallic paints contain real metal particles, which when activated, using the Chroma Craft Rustina™ Aging Solution, will create a rusted, aged effect.

Step 3. Apply the Rustina™ Aging Solution - spray, brush, sponge or dab on the ageing solution onto the wet metallic paint and wait. Depending on the ambient temperature and humidity the change can take 20 minutes to a couple of hours. The finish produces actual patina or rust, in various shades, to provide a realistic aged effect. There are two colours available, either a blue-green colour for a verdigris effect, or use brown-rust for a more traditional rusted effect.

Step 4. Finish with a top coat of Chroma Craft Sealer WRU-20, for a long lasting protective finish. It offers a tough, chemical-resistant finish that is easy to apply and offers outstanding durability and adhesion.
