It depends what metal you are painting. You can use the same process but start with a metal primer rather than the plastic one I used here. If it is to add colour to a copper object to give it an aged appearance you could start at the wash stage, although I have not tried it myself so I am not sure how well the wash will stick to the metal.
Because it is a texture paint if you spray it from a distance is comes out as a fine dusting, so you can see the copper underneath. It also helps to darken the underside slightly.
hi i like the tutorials but i am from the netherlands and i do not understand all the colortypes and products you use, is het possible to get a list from the paintingproducts you use so i can translate it and buy it in a local shop here?? Thanks in advance, Kind regards Mitch
I've never "Steampunked" anything before, and I'm going to try on an ugly lamp I've got. I'll follow this video and hopefully i'll have something which looks half decent!
You can do both, but I used a ready made wash. The type of wash doesn't matter too much as long as it is a dark green. I've found when I've tried to dilute acrylic paint in the past it doesn't work quite as well.

actually if your wanting to age copper or brass you dont need to do it artificially you just need 2 solutions. 1 is sodium and vinegar and another is any type of degreaser start by cleaning with the degreaser then giving a light coat and follow up with the vinegar solution
what stain, exactly? please, add the 'cooking recipe" I beg you!---It looks marvelous, exactly what I was looking for, but too fast to write along and I really really NEED exact descriptions! HELP!----Thank you!! I'm a DIY novice, I need "Instructions for Dummies', please!
It helps the spray paint bond to the plastic better. Another technique is to lightly sand the plastic so the paint has a "tooth" to grip onto and it won't chip off as easy. Basically the purpose is to ensure the paints stay
It's A Trap! textures work if you seal the wood with about 5 or 6 coats of diluted pva wood glue. it acts as a sealer and also strengthens say balsa wood at the same time. :)
lucifairy The problem with boots is that they are flexible, so I suspect that the paint would crack and fall off. You would need a flexible coating to make it work.

Excellent tutorial video that took 3 minutes to watch instead of the many others that would take 23 minutes and talk incessantly! :)

Hear hear !!
the fine dusting of Green pain on the underside, really added a lot of realisme to the piece. Nice work.
WOW! such a process ! Thank you so much this great to watch and learn from!
The oxidized parts looked good with just the first layer but wow the dark green wash and green texture paint took that to the next level.
You just saved my final project for a stagecraft class at uni. Thank you so much!
Excellent, I'm glad our video was helpful.

Beautiful work, inspiring ideas
Wow, excellent tutorial! Going to be working on my first steampunk gun soon and I think your techniques will be very helpful!
Thanks for the great videos. I am going to use you advice on a Dalek that I want to steampunk!!

Great technique. Can you link what materials you used in the description.
That is fantastic. I'm looking forward to your next
video.
your techniques look good and something I can achieve, thank you for the videos ...please do more.
Wonderful demo!
Have you tried liquid nails on pvc? Thinking about it because super glue has no give it snaps off in some areas.
Nice painting style .
I will have to give that a go. Thanks Nigel.
Простенько и со вкусом!)))) Молодец)))
Brilliant tutorial. Thank you kindly 🖖
I would like to do this to my guitar. Do I need to add a layer of clear coat after to protect it?

very cool something different and unique
I always wondered about that! Thank you so much

This is fantastic. How can I adopt this technique for painting actual metal?
Fantastic
For the greenwash you used over the patina, did you dilute some acrylic you had, or did you purchase greenwash? If the latter, what kind?
You can do both, but I used a ready made wash. The type of wash doesn't matter too much as long as it is a dark green. I've found when I've tried to dilute acrylic paint in the past it doesn't work quite as well.
Excellent video! However could you please tell me what brand of brown stain you use?
I think it was MIG productions brown.
how can i paint iron pipes to make them look like copper steampunk style? I guess is easier than plastic but what colors should i use?
May I inquire as to what brand of stain you used?
I think its was MIG productions Brown.
@@_itsatrap what are the colors you used?
@@two-tee A generic copper spray. A Mig productions brown stain. For the light green oxidation effect I mixed an emerald green acrylic with white acrylic.
@@_itsatrap thank you the base paint, it doesn't matter what color?
@@two-tee not really as the copper covers it. It's there to help the paint stick to the plastic.

Is ti possible to get a list of the paints you used?
I know this is an old posting but.....
Well said , without this info - it’s a lot of trial and error ?
nice tutorial!
very nice
Did you dilute / thin the brown stain before you applied it?
No it was already dilute enough for this piece. But if you are finding it is too dark you can dilute it. I have done so on other projects.
I have was wondering where you get you black wash or brown wash from.
model shops usually stock it. or you can find it online.
Cool I might have to try that on my brass goggles
Nice!

"Spray the pipe with Plastic Primer."
I have never heard of Plastic Primer?
What is that?
It helps the spray paint bond to the plastic better. Another technique is to lightly sand the plastic so the paint has a "tooth" to grip onto and it won't chip off as easy. Basically the purpose is to ensure the paints stay
what brand of copper paint is that. link of you have one please. thanks subbed.
+Anthony Castro Usually Plasticote. But I have used car paints in the past. As long as you use a primer you can use most metallic sprays.
Can I use the texture paint( intended for plastic) on wood? What is the base of this paint?
You probably can I would suggest you try it out. The solvent will probably soak into the wood, but the texture grains should still stick.
It's A Trap! textures work if you seal the wood with about 5 or 6 coats of diluted pva wood glue. it acts as a sealer and also strengthens say balsa wood at the same time. :)
Excellent. I will try that when I next use wood in a build. Thanks.
What is the texture paint you use?
Rustoleum
earned a sub right here ;D
hiya do u think this will work in pu shoes? i need to make some boots for a cosplay
lucifairy The problem with boots is that they are flexible, so I suspect that the paint would crack and fall off. You would need a flexible coating to make it work.
you are right! thank u!
What is the name of the textured paint you are using? cx
The make was Rustoleum.
-i love his accent-
That line though. If you really love his accent, that could be mistaken as "do not love". But that just might be how my brain processes things. xD
whats the brand of the texture paint??
I use plasticote and Rust-oleum
Will this work on glass?
It should do as long as you use a primer for the first coat that will bind to the glass.
👍👍👍
Very detailed half way into it, then skipped a bunch of steps, like the dry brush technique, and how you applied the green... Bleh
nice i want to do this on a wood kitchen hood
Doesnt look like metal unfortuantely :[
so steampunk is only a new name for something modelers have been doing for 50 years. It's a trap.
