## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the cleanup method? Soap and water, mineral spirits, enamel thinner?**
A: You can remove or modify with just water. A q-tip, paper towel, or brush will do the trick!

**Q: Can this be used on plastic?**
A: Yes I have used it on plastic, it works better on a painted surface though

**Q: Is this item flammable?**
A: Yes, this item is highly flammable.

**Q: How much will this cover?**
A: It's difficult to say as the paint can be used in so many different ways. Applied heavily for darker rust, thinned with water to flow into details and brighter rust, for steaking and picking out detail, or full coverage.  

Applied moderarely to a flat surface with no thinning this 25ml can cover approximately 3 to 4 square feet.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works GREAT!
*by M***S on May 1, 2025*

A great adjunct for force aging articles. We professionally do this sort of thing and found this material (though expensive) very easy to work with producing great results.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great rust effects
*by W***. on April 8, 2025*

Very good rust effect. Make sure you watch some youtube tutorials before using the product as it does have some rather specific needs to work properly, like it needs to be warm and stirred, not just shaken. As stated, the results are very worth it and I do recommend it highly.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect for rusty armor
*by W***Y on May 25, 2025*

10/10 works perfectly, bought it to paint mini’s for D&D. Amazing rust effect
