Paint Vallejo Ammo Oilbrusher Dust 10 ml – oil-based weathering pigment for scale models

VALLEJO Ammo Oilbrusher Dust 10 ml is an oil-based weathering pigment formulated for scale models and miniatures. This product provides subtle dust and grime effects on painted surfaces, allowing modelers to simulate accumulation of dust on vehicles, buildings and diorama elements. The 10 ml bottle contains a concentrated oil paint that can be applied directly, blended for soft transitions, or thinned for delicate washes and highlights.

Advantages

The oil-based formula offers extended working time for blending and feathering, enabling precise control over intensity and placement of dust effects. Its consistency is suitable for brush application as well as for use with oilbrushers or airbrushes after appropriate thinning. The pigment integrates well with acrylic and enamel base coats once they are fully cured, producing realistic matt to semi-matt dusty finishes without aggressive chemical interactions.

Suitable for

• Weathering vehicle exteriors and undersides
• Creating road dust and desert effects on dioramas
• Simulating settled grime on buildings and machinery
• Adding subtle tonal variation to painted miniatures

Key specifications

• Type: oil-based weathering paint
• Volume: 10 ml
• Finish: matt to semi-matt dust effect
• Application methods: brush, oilbrusher, can be thinned for washes
• Compatibility: designed for use over cured acrylics, enamels and other model paints

How to use

Apply directly with a fine brush to add localized dust streaks and deposits, or dilute with a suitable oil thinner to create washes and soft shading. Work in thin layers, allowing each layer to settle or dry sufficiently before blending to achieve gradual build-up of tone. For broad dusty surfaces use gentle feathering motions to avoid hard edges; for accumulated deposits apply slightly thicker paint and let it dry before blending adjacent areas.

Usage recommendations

Test compatibility and drying behaviour on a spare painted surface before applying to the main model. Clean brushes and tools with appropriate solvents after use. Store the bottle tightly closed in a cool, ventilated place away from heat sources.
