Hello;
Does anyone know of a way to show the burnt metal effect on exhaust other than the MM Metalizer paints. I am building the AM F3F-1 and I need a little burnt metal color on the Exhaust ports.

Tamiya have a "burnt blue" and "burnt red" in their "Weathering Master" set D. The weathering master sets are similar to pastels and are applied in a similar way. Paint the item a dark (metallic) grey and apply lightly with the supplied makeup applicator.
Alclad II Exhaust Manifold. Used it on some Ultracast manifolds recently and loved it.

That's exactly the color I need. Thanks for posting that.

I just use regular colors. On chrome stacks and pipes I use blue and red- very, very light airbrushed coatings. On weathered steel and darker metal stacks, a rust color and a little blue works well. There are lots of "rust" colors in various brands.
It helps to use a DA brush, but I have adjusted my SA Badger down to low enough flow to do a decent job a couple of times.

I might try adding a little rust color to a steel color and see what thats like.

If you mix the colors before applying, you will get a reddish silver. I recommend drybrushing the rust, because typically on exhausts the rust patina is not uniform. So you either need to airbrush the rust with a very fine light coat, or drybrush it.
OK thanks that sounds better than mixing the paint before hand.
