Mig and AK-Interactive make rust washes and rust pigments,or you can get any rust paint and thin it 90-10

What brand of washes would you use for rust stains on ships?

I find on real vehicles that fuel spills dry pretty fast, oil and hydraulic fluids take much longer to dry.

a nice effect is to layer,for example the stain,then some pigments to simulate dirt on top,followed by a later stain on top of that to simulate older and newer ones.

Thats what I was thinking about doing.  I have the basic testors enamels that I use for pin washes but I wasn't really sure how to apply them for fuel/oil stains.  I'll give it a shot.  Thanks for the advice.

I don't build armor, but make fuel stains on planes with washes.  For oil stains I make two kinds.  For a dried stain I also make a thin wash. But for a wet stain I make a semi-transparent brown paint from a touch of brown in a gloss clear.  This is usually for bottom surfaces where a serious oil spot would gather.

Fuel & Oil Stains
Posted by Tankster on Friday, October 4, 2013 8:40 AM

I"m just about finished with my King Tiger  and I was wondering what would be a good technique for replicating fuel/oil staining on the engine deck?  I know theres different products to produce this effect but I was looking to make something myself and save some $$ in the process. 

Any suggestions?
