Paint VALLEJO Rust, Stain & Streaking — 17 ml bottle, Chocolate Brown / Orange / Light & Dark Rust

VALLEJO Rust, Stain & Streaking — 17 ml bottle, Chocolate Brown / Orange / Light & Dark Rust is a specialist modelling paint set formulated to reproduce realistic rust, stains and streaking on scale models, vehicles and dioramas. Each 17 ml dispenser contains carefully selected tones including Chocolate Brown, Orange Brown, Light Rust and Dark Rust that work together to simulate corrosion, runoff and aging on metal and painted surfaces. The paints are designed to blend, layer and be manipulated for subtle or pronounced weathering effects.

Advantages

The set provides a compact selection of complementary rust and stain tones in 17 ml bottles that are convenient for precise application and touch-ups. Pigment balance and consistency enable layering, glazing and feathering to create natural-looking streaks and stains without obscuring underlying details. These paints are suitable for use with brushes and standard modelling techniques, facilitating controlled application for both fine streaking and broader corrosion patterns.

Suitable for

• Weathering metal surfaces on military and civilian vehicle models
• Adding rust streaks and stains to buildings, industrial dioramas and railway models
• Simulating aged and corroded painted panels and fittings
• Detailing small components where controlled streaking is required

Key specifications

• Container volume: 17 ml per dispenser bottle
• Included tones: Chocolate Brown, Orange Brown, Light Rust, Dark Rust
• Finish: matte to satin weathering effects depending on application
• Application methods: brush application, layering, glazing and feathering
• Compatibility: designed for use on plastic, resin and painted model surfaces

How to use

Apply the paints with a fine brush or weathering brush to build up rust and streaking gradually. Use thin layers and allow drying between applications to control intensity and create depth. For streaking effects, drag a damp brush or softening solvent vertically from a concentrated rust area to simulate runoff. Blend edges with a clean, slightly damp brush or a softening medium if a more diffused stain is desired. Test combinations of Chocolate Brown, Orange Brown, Light Rust and Dark Rust on a scrap surface to determine the right balance for your model.

Usage recommendations

Use in a well-ventilated area and store bottles upright and tightly closed. When working on fine details, work with small amounts of paint at a time and build effects gradually. Combine the set colours selectively to achieve subtle tonal variation; apply lighter tones first and accentuate with darker tones for shadowed corrosion. Follow any additional manufacturer instructions for surface preparation and compatibility with primers or varnishes before final sealing.
