► Today, I go over four of my favourite techniques for weathering your scale trucks. I really enjoy the weathering process as it really makes a truck look as realistic as possible. Rarely do we see showroom shine out on the trails! These techniques work best on hard body builds, but can be adapted to Lexan shells, provided they are painted on the outside. Everything featured here is easy enough for anyone to try, give it a go!

I shoot all my videos on the Sony a6500 in 4K, with Sigma 16mm, 19mm & 30mm and 70-210mm f1.4 lenses and the Zhiyun Crane V2.
Lol.. Paul "Bear" Vasquez "Double Rainbow".. wow, That is a throwback!! I remember meeting him at Vidcon 2012. He was a really far out dude! On a separate note, I enjoy your teaching technique. There are so many ways to do weathering.. and many folks are afraid to try. You did an excellent job on the tail gate. Ohhhh snap!! You mentioned salting!! Really cool.. I did that on my International Harvester.. and it turned out fantastic. Great job being an ambassador to the hobby. Lot's of helpful tips and tricks here.. !! Your channel is going to continue to grow
Intro was great lol
I love the sophisticated finishes. Have been using it for 15 years, starting with it on 1/24 models
So versatile, and REAL!
great weathering tips, been a pretty decent painter for a long time but now building rigs to look old this will be major help for me!
Glad that I could help! Thanks for watching!
Just keep on doing what you do and the way you do it
I will certainly do that!
This video was AWSOME!

Thanks Matt! I think this whole video will help me a lot. I really liked the last one. None of this looks hard to do, just a little time.
Exactly. Anything is possible with patience and practice.
Great vid thanks for ideas, about to star on my first project
Good luck! I've got many videos out there to help!
Hands down best explanation I’ve seen so far. Last technique is great, I will go for it on my build.

Love your videos. Here's one I'd love to see. A video on how to make custom parts like bumpers and sliders. Show us the tools and materials used and the process you use to fab them up. Thanks again for all your content
Metal, plastic or 3D?
@@scalebuildersguild thanks for the reply. I'm very interested in metal work and 3D printing is also on the list. I want to learn to make my own sliders, body mounts, bumpers etc. Honestly I'd watch videos on both and I think your fans would too
Wow great tutorial ! Thanks !
Thanks for watching!
Great stuff, liked this one very much!

👏👏👏 Excellent video !! This is exactly what I needed!! I remember at one time I started watching it then got interrupted by life 😁👍 just wanted to leave a little reminder for myself 👉 stage 3 7:55 stage 4 10:18 I completely agree!!

Scale Builder's Guild I’m using a combination with salt, washing, oil , pigments when I build my Wrangler Yj , which in Instagram in your page )
+RC Scale studio very cool. Yes I’m following along with the build! You should put it on the forum too!
Scale Builder's Guild yes in Friday)

Great techniques! I saw you were a judge in one of the Axial Fest videos I watched. That’s awesome man👍🏼
Yep, SBG has been working with Axial for five years or so. We always judge the concours event, and will be there this year again!
Scale Builder's Guild very cool bud very cool!
Cool tips thanks awesome video thanks
My pleasure!
Good stuff! Love the Zach cutaway too. ;-)
Awesome video! Thanks for this great guide ;)
No problem!
Thank s for the tipps😀
My pleasure!
Awesome video, could you please post a video of weathering already painted stock (which is painted on the inside)?
Thank you so much in advance!!
I don’t usually do that type of weathering, but I’ll see if it comes up in the future. Thanks for the suggestion!
Really enjoy your videos. Can you do one on weathering the clear lexan bodies? Thanks.
Another awesome tips and tricks how to DIY home body appointments Video 😁👍
I just purchased a Rusty Set of the Sophisticated from eBay.... including shipping to Denmark 🇩🇰 $$$$$$ 85 😬😬😬 but I wanted to have it 💪🏼😄
It's great to have, no matter the price!
Awesome!! Some great tips.. Big eye roll for the "as-Salted joke.. lol Thumbs up bud.. :P
Hahah, thank you very much!
I'm really interested in the sophisticated finishes. Do you have to cover the entire piece or can you put it in spots you know you are wanting rust?
For a smooth overall finish, I'd put it everywhere.
Very very cool ! I would like see you add a how to do The real rust paints to trail dents and rot holes in the most realistic fashion possible. Thanks keep up the great work as your channel has become on of the best on utuber well at least to me any how thanks for all the hard work keep the runner sidw up ;)
I can follow up with that, for sure. Thanks for the suggestion!
Scale Builder's Guild. Thanks that would be awesome. Cant wait to see it !
I know about science and I know about angles! Let's combine them both in a useful life lesson! The angle of the dangle is equal to the mass of the ass! Bahahaha I'll be here all week 😂😂😂🤯
Try the veal! Hahahaha
So much skill . Really Awesome 😎 subbed ✅
Thank you so much 👍
I've been using the salt method on the outside of lexan. If gives a much more realistic finish in contrast to painting on the inside.
Wait until you see this week's Monthly Mayhem!
Awsome tips!! 👍 love the corny jokes too 😄
Thanks! Comedy is life.
I think I see a rusty beat up truck in my future!
Right on!
Video idea incoming. ........ How bout a series on scale trail building ?
If I had room for that, I'd so do it.
What about using that last sophisticated technique but adding salt before the last paint and then grind down ..?
I think I need to get some of that stuff and try!
Absolutely another way to do it.
You have a really bendy thumb while holding the airbrush.. 👍 😁
Hahaha, yeah. Double jointed!
the sophisticated finish will take some time to get the right look, but when its done correct it seems way cool!
Yep, you certainly don't want to overdo it with that!
Some cool tips, thanks. Going to try some of these on my crawlers. I find it a bit confusing though when you keep saying "sort of" and "kind of". When you say something like "you sort of brush it on" or "you kind of brush it on" is that different but similar to brushing it on? -- I usually paint my bodies with a different color under coat so when it gets scrapes during actual use, the scrapes show up better. Like silver under coat so the deep scrapes look like bare metal. One of my rigs I used 3 color layers; a rust color, black, then finally white. Light scrapes the black shows through. Heavy scrapes the rust color shows through.
It's sort of, kind of the same thing. ;)
About to paint my first body, the Axial Jeep Cherokee and this video (amazing) left me with a few questions. What would the order of operations be for painting up a brand new clear body? Paint the underside first and then apply the weathering to the top of the body? Paint the entire body on the top side laying down your base coats first and then applying weathering? I'm used to painting miniatures but there isn't a concept of an under and a top side so this is what left me a little confused.
So whats wrong with just using that Iron based paint as an primer coat under a paint job and just let it get all of it scratches naturally? Would it still come through alright without the vinegar penetrating the paint afterward?
I think it's best to activate it first to start the process. Not sure it would get enough penetration otherwise.
With the sophisticated finishes, can you thin out the metal paint and let it run down the body before applying the rusting agent?
I have a blazer body that has seen lots of use that I now want to add weathering to.
Absolutely. The rust effect will take longer to activate if you thin it out.
The sophisticated paint, do you have to sand through the paint and use vinegar, or will it start to come through when you drive in water over time
You don't have to, but it helps to give it a start.
Sadly, it was reported in the newspaper that Double Rainbow man passed away from Covid 19 a few weeks ago in his hometown of Mariposa CA
Very sad news indeed.
My Question is will white distilled vinegar work the same because the vinegar your using is brown
It’s old, well-used vinegar, and yes, white vinegar is what you want.
Thank you matt for answering my Question much luv mi big bro!!!!
😀🤙🇺🇸💜💯♻️
Can you use salt with the iron-oxide paint to get the pockmarks along with the rust?
I don’t see why not!
My first RC truck had an extremely ugly body, and color. I hated it. I decided the only recourse was to make it even uglier. I didn't have any paint, but I had a bunch of felt markers, and a lot of time on my hands. I so "drew" the rust and grime on the seams around windows, doors, hood, etc. It took me about two weeks, but I had nothing better to do. Using yellows, browns, reds, and black (which I quickly wiped most of it off with a damp paper towel). In the end I was was quite happy with the results. Three years later it looks even better (or worse, as the case may be) with all the scratches from use and abuse.
if you want to apply rust in a certain area, say a rivet or bolt or really whatever you can use steel wool thats soaked in vinegar for a couple weeks, just paint it on and youre good to go!
That sounds like a neat technique! Thanks for the tip!
Any other links to that rust stuff in the last example? Says it's no longer available
Feel silly for asking, maybe someone already did. But step three the final with sophisticated finishes will work ok on rhe outside of a lexan body? Really enjoy the videos and trying to get more into the scale details. Thanks Matt
If you prep the body with a flat clear coat beforehand, you’ll probably have better luck with adhesion.
Thanks, glad I asked before I tried, I'll do that. Really appreciate the reply, thanks for all your help and keep the videos coming 🙂
You ever combine salt with metal rusting paint methods?
I haven't yet, but there's no reason it wouldn't work. Might even work better! Good idea!
How well does the Sophisticated Finishes iron hold up to getting bashed (ex: roll over while rock crawling)? Have you tried putting it on the inside of a clear lexan body (I'm sure it really wouldn't get the right effect, but it doesn't hurt to ask)?
How do you Apply the iron paint without getting brush marks?
Would zinc paint and vinegar work for rust? Those iron based and rust effects is not available here..
Sorry sir, no idea. Zinc doesn't rust, does it?
I’ve looked through the comments and I can’t seem to find the answer..... on a polycarbonate body, can you paint it with the "metal effects" iron paint? Does it stick? Does it chip off like regular latex paint? I am trying to do a cool ARRMA Infraction body... any info would be greatly appreciated!!!
It’ll chip off of lexan, yes. Unless you paint it on the outside and start with a layer or two of PS spray. Even then, I wouldn’t trust it to stick for long.
@@scalebuildersguild thank you for the info... that’s what I thought.... I’m gonna fake the rust with paint instead of the metal effect then.... thank you again! 👍🏼
Matt, great video! thank you for putting it together
do you ever use soapy water to reduce water pooling when salting? i was finding it difficult to control coverage area shape and switched to liquid mask
I haven't tried that, but excellent suggestion!
Hi there nice skill bud,can i still used the last step using sophisticated finishes on my rig with yellow paint on it? Thanks I appreciated
I don't see why not.
Scale Builder's Guild thanks 🙏
Awesome video! You still coming to Team KnK TTC ?
I'll be there Brad! You?
Scale Builder's Guild. Yes sir I will be there too! Looking forward to it
Are these mostly for hard bodies or will they work on lexan to?
Mostly hard body tips, but, provided you prep and paint on the exterior of the lexan body, a lot of these could work, assuming the body doesn't flex a bunch.
I wouldn't mind to buy some scale sbg stick to perches in your store
We're sold out, I'll let people know when we have them again!
trying the iron file paint technique (the product you use is not available to me, but other iron file base paint is). when i apply the vinigar it will rust a bit, then when i put a layer or 2 of paint over it and sand it down a bit then reapply the vinigar it seems not to rust, It seems only to leave rings and marks of where the vinigar was (water rings most likely) any tips or pointer as to what i might do wrong?
Sounds to me like you're putting too much paint over top. I keep those coats really, really light.
hey brother what video do you have that will help me out on making chrome looked weather
I guess I don't have one specific to that, but you could dull coat the chrome, and then use a couple washes and Sophisticated Finishes to make it rusty.
nice dad joke and can you do this on like the clear bodies to or is this for hard bodies really new to RC crawling?
Where do you like to buy your Styrene from and what glue/bonder do you use?
I buy my styrene locally in 4x8 foot sheets at an industrial plastics supplier. MEK is my bonding liquid of choice.
You know you’re serious about scale building when you buy Styrene in 4x8 sheets! Holy cow man!
Hey mate, im new to rc, just got myself and the son a deadbolt each, could you use the Vallejo weathering wash on the new deadbolt lexan body, and get a good result? Cheers from Denmark, we love your channel, Keep it up.
Welcome to the hobby! I imagine that if you gave the body a coat of Tamiya PS clear the weathering mediums would stick just fine.
@@scalebuildersguild thanks man, i actually just ordered the Tamiya PS 55 flat clear, i think its called. To tone down the shiny plastic look abit, if possible, and if the weathering wash will stick to that, well thats just great 😄
