## Summary description

VALLEJO Ammo DIO Drybrush Light Rust is an acrylic drybrush paint tone designed for weathering and highlighting scale models, miniatures and dioramas. Formulated for drybrushing techniques, it provides rust-tone highlights on raised details and textured surfaces. Suitable for model kits, military miniatures and terrain, it helps create realistic aged and corroded effects.

## Long description

VALLEJO Ammo DIO Drybrush Light Rust is an acrylic drybrush paint formulated for adding subtle rust highlights and aged metallic effects to scale models, miniatures and dioramas. The consistency and pigment load are tuned for drybrushing: the paint deposits thin, controlled layers on raised details, edges and textured surfaces without obscuring fine sculpting. Its light rust tone integrates with metallic bases, weathering washes and terrain materials to recreate corroded surfaces and natural wear.
Advantages
The acrylic formula dries quickly, allows for gradual build-up of colour and cleans up with water. Designed specifically for drybrushing, this paint spreads thinly across textured areas to emphasize relief and simulate light corrosion. It is compatible with standard modelling primers and acrylic basecoats and works well over metallic paints and weathering products to achieve convincing rust effects.
Suitable for
Scale model kits (armour, vehicles, ships)
Military and historical miniatures
Diorama scenery and terrain textures
Weapons, tools and mechanical details on models
Highlighting raised edges and surface texture
Key specifications
Type: acrylic drybrush paint
Finish: matte to semi-matte rust tone suitable for weathering
Application method: drybrushing with a soft or dedicated drybrush
Drying: quick-drying water-based formulation
Compatibility: designed for use over acrylic primers, basecoats and metallics
How to use
Apply on a previously primed and base-coated surface. Remove most of the paint from the brush on a palette or cloth until only a minimal amount remains, then lightly stroke across raised details and edges to deposit thin, controlled layers of light rust. Build intensity gradually by repeating short passes rather than applying heavy coats. Allow the paint to dry between layers and clean brushes with water before the paint fully hardens.
Usage recommendations
For best results, combine Drybrush Light Rust with metallic basecoats and darker rust or wash tones to create depth. Use soft-bristled brushes and practise pressure control to avoid over-application. Store in a cool, dry place and reseal the cap tightly to maintain consistency.
