You mentioned this technique for worn white wash. I'm about to build an 88 AA, winter motif. Would you be so kind as to explain how the hairspray technique might apply to this model?
would this work on the vehicle itself i.e. on corners and stuff......... paint the whole tank first, then paint rust on topof that coat, followed by hairsray, then a coat of original tank colour, then scrape it off? im working on a c7p polish artillery tractor and want to give it a bit of wear n tear?
Great video!! i admire ur techniques, do you come up with them? I dont even own an airbrush yet but cant wait to get one. I just wanted to say thank you for sharing this and i hope some day i can be an inspiration to others as you are to me!!
Hi Scale model Medic. Great tutorial, I'm modeling HO scale trains, so thanks for the Vids on Weathering a Boxcar as well. Do you know if the Hairspary Tecnique will work with Enamel paint as top layer?
@Peterraev Hi Peter, don't use enamels !!! they will not allow water to pass through and wet the hairspray beneath ! This could be a disaster for you. There is nothing wrong with using enamels UNDERNEATH the hairspray but acrylic is what you need over the top of it :) cheers, Jon
Great tutorial. I am going to apply it to my tanks now. By the way, what is the song playing in the background. I know it is almost silent, but I heard it. :P
@militariacollector1 the airbrush in this video is an Iwata HP-C+, it's a fantastic airbrush that I would recommend to anyone and has served me incredibly well. Sadly I have since broken the airbrush when I accidentally dropped it whilst cleaning and damaged the body but as soon as I have the money I will replace it with another Iwata!
I take it the Hairspray dissolves in water meaning cleaning the AB after decanting and spraying hairspray through it is as simple as flushing through with water? or does it require IPA, thinners?
@spidiq8 I cleaned mine out with water, worked perfectly. If you feel there's a bit of residue in there then perhaps give it a squirt through with your usual cleaner. I had a can of badger spray cleaner which I used to use, that would clean just about anything out !!
@ScaleModelMedic Thanks. I'm planning on trying this for the first time very soon but just wondered in case i decant the hairspray though with the coverage i'm planning I may just spray straight from the tin.
I've been looking into working with this technique as well. Not for chipping a tank but working on a Japanese WW2 airplane which often have a good chipped look to them. Here's the thing, I use the same paints as you, but I keep getting a reaction between the hairpspray coat and my Vallejo top coat. It ends up looking like a dried out piece of desert ultimately with large chucks of top coat just falling off. Any idea what might cause this? Perhaps my hairspray coat isn't dry/hardened enough?
@sorrowman2 tough one... there's a few things that might have affected it. Like spidiq8 says the brand of hairspray may contain something that the paint doesn't like, additional perfumes or conditioners perhaps (man I sound like a hairdresser now). Another thing that can affect it is the thickness of the hairspray layer. Experiment with thinner layers, thicker layers etc.
@ScaleModelMedic THX Mr. hairdresser ;) , will do! Gonna buy me some different brand(s) and try changing the thickness of the layers. Still lot's of ways left to change things around in order to make it work.
Thanks for sharing this weathering technique with us. It can be used on planes, cars, armour, anything you want to make old. I haven't done much mixing of medias yet. I use enamels, as that is what I have invested in since I got back into modeling 18 months ago. I recently tried some laquer and maybe I will soon add acrylics to my paint supplies. I now use an Aztec brush after trying a two cheap airbrushes that were always getting clogged. I love the ruggedness of the Aztec! It cleans up easily!
SMM, I used the hairspray technique for the first time recently on the Tamiya 1/35th Citroen for a worn winter cam scheme over Panzer Grey. While the results werent bad, I used the spray straight from the can so the control wasnt as good as I wouldve liked. Id like to ask you, when you decant it and spray through the airbrush, do you dilute it with anything?
@pathdaly no mate, I don't dilute it at all. I don't know how this would effect it. I simply sprayed it from can to pot, then poured it into the airbrush.
Right thanks for the tip. Have you ever tried combining the hairspray method and the salt method? Im thinking of trying it to see what happens. I havent even tried the straight salt method yet though, but I might try the 2 of them at once on two different models.
@ScaleModelMedic ic..so whatever you put on top of the hairspray that coat would be really sensitive to water but not whats under the coat of the hairspray?or should i coat it with clear before i coat it with hairspray so that it would protect the main color?this is a awsome technique..thanks for the vid!cheers
you are so talented and insperational!! After viewing your videos, i went out and bought some Mig products and Vellejo paints which i never would have without seeing how great they work thanks to you!! Now i love them! Fantastic results and easy to use too! Keep up the great work, you are so talented!!
I use it in another way. Paint the rust color on the model. Then i paint the clear (X22-Tamiya) and put a little bit of salt on the wet ground. After it got dry i paint the vehicle colour and let dry it, too. When this happened i rub the salt of the model.
@ScaleModelMedic Can't wait to see it. I do it on the easy ways, because i show this hobby sometimes on special happenings like in my nephews school or at a toy-discounter, where i worked a few years ago. I want to take the fear of the people, who only see the many parts in the box.
you're right to make sure they start off doing easy stuff... jumping in at the deep end will kill any fun, always start at the beginning and enjoy it !
hi there great technique!! Question Jon, If i intend to do chipping on an entire vehicle., can i spray the hairspray on the whole vehicle, them the over coat. work a bit at a time and let it stand for a few days , will the hairspray come off, say, like 2 days later, or should i do it in segments?
This is a good question. The hairspray technique IS used across a whole video, and theoretically there shouldn't be any kind of reaction which would cause the hairspray to stop responding to the water. The only suggestion I can offer is try spraying some old sprue with the hairspray and then leave it for a while to see if it still works. I intend to use a whole-model whitewash doing this technique so I will find out firsthand some day !
excellent technique . have you ever used baking soda? i'm about to start the rust and weathering of my sd.kfz. 234-1. maybe i should try the out... :) well, i've been about to for 6 months... ;)
this was the last video I had filmed on the old camera.
I am doing some filming now with the 1080p, it's not working out so great, I am having trouble getting everything I want into the shots, it's a lot different to my old camera.
I'm in the UK, where can I get that white sponge you use for the stippling? Thx. ps, looking forward to the new model being painted, when do you think you'll have the first vid up?
any sponge can work, try getting different sizes for different effects. I used the makeup sponges because they give very close dots, perfect for rust. Other types like dish sponge would be good for chipping. In the UK you can get these from any high street cosmetics place, like boots or superdrug.
well yeah, kind of... not many I'll be honest. The diorama in the opening sequence of this video is mine and the figures were painted by me. Those are it though really, other than in my old warhammer 40k days.
i'm asssuming the hairspray is to seal the rust layer in so you don't chip through it. Does it need to be hairspray? would a standard sealer not work just as well? Or is there something about the hairspray that makes the technique work better?
The hairspray is not to seal the rust layer, but rather to put a water-soluble layer underneath the panzer grey I sprayed on. When the panzer grey is brushed with tap water, this soaks through and dissolves the hairspray, allowing the paint to flake off like it does.
If you used a varnish or lacquer coat the acrylic paint will grip and you will struggle to chip it off... certainly not as easy as you see in the video.
@ScaleModelMedic If one was concerned about going down too hard, would it be possible to clear coat the rust layer, then put the hairspray on top? or to yu recon the hairspray would bond to the clear? I know you'll end up clear coating the whole lot afters but..
Also, is decanting the hairspray into an airbrush strinctly necesary? or is it just because you have one to hand and can? I imagine just spraying it straight wouldn't give good results, but you don't seem to be adverse to painting it on.
excellent questions... these are good points you raise. Clearcoating the rust first then adding the hairspray - that should work fine ! I don't see a problem with that. It might be a wise precaution... maybe experiment with your brands of clearcoat and see how it works out. As for spraying from the can, the main reason I don't do it is because you have no control over the pressure or spray size coming out. It would blast masking from the model, cause runs..the airbrush just gives control.
Err no mate, Adam Wilder 'invented' this technique and he grew up in the states. I believe it was Maine or somewhere in the north east but he is an American.
I know he was living in Spain and might still be currently in Europe but he's a Yank.
I don't actually know if Adam did "invent" the hairspray technique or not. It's been around for a long time, I've not actually seen Adam post anything on the boards which used this method.
For me the true master of this technique is mr Michael Rinaldi. His recent models on Missing Lynx have been nothing short of incredible. He is the reason I started using the method, after seeing what can be done with it.
Excellent! never heard/seen that technique done B4. (GW likes to shelter us mortals from these master methods I think!) But is there anything special u must do 2 clean a brush/airbrush that u've used ur loving tools with? I mainly use acrylics....
PS I'm glad I've found U on here.. U really make me want 2 pull out my old Tamiya Tiger Tank & do that "Kelly's Hero's" diorama project I've promised myself I'd do ...1 day... :)
Keep up the great work I(we) really appreciate it.
Games Workshop just want you to buy their paints and modelling guides ;) Can't blame them really, it's how they are as big as they are !!
Scale modellers don't have a big company running a monopoly like this, so we do all manner of crazy stuff. Some guys use MARMITE for their chipping !! insanity !!
wow, this video is very helpful, that rust looks so realistic, i think my next armor model im going to have to invest some money and do it properly.. great vid man 5*
I clicked on REMOVE instead of REPLY to one of you guys' comments !! Sorry about that !! If you've posted a comment and cant' see it - please repost ! I was trying to reply to you !
hi mate. This is the second of the 2 videos I said I still had in the old format. This is it for the old quality. I had this all filmed and done back in november, it's just taken a long time for me to get it edited and uploaded.
Nice work again. Your videos have been a big help in making scale models. When you spray with Vallejo-paints, do you use Vallejo's own thinners? When I use Vallejo, it blocks my airbrush. That's why I've changed to using lifecolor instead. Doesn't that hairspray dry inside your airbrush?
I don't airbrush any of vallejo's normal paints, just the model AIR range. Their normal range doesn't lend itself well to airbrushing at all.
The hairspray stays wet for quite a while. As you see in the video, I only use a little bit in the airbrush. I just washed it out afterwards it was fine.
What a pro technique, thank you. Question: When using the hair spray through the air-brush, should the gun be cleaned immediately after? I am assuming it could gum up the needle with a vengeance? Or does it clean up with no problems? Thanks again.
I cleaned the brush out with water after spraying. Even if it gums up afterwards a quick blast of airbrush cleaner will sort it out. I use badger airbrush cleaner which contains acetone. As the Iwata contains no rubber seals in the forward part of the brush I can clean with solvents no problem.
If you do airbrush hairspray then just give it a good rinse through with water straight after and you'll be fine !
Great technique and excellent results. Thanks for sharing.

hi mate. This is the second of the 2 videos I said I still had in the old format. This is it for the old quality. I had this all filmed and done back in november, it's just taken a long time for me to get it edited and uploaded.
Any video after now will be done in HD !

Very nice video, thanks for sharing your knowledge!!!
I've tried this before, also on a muffler, but I used an old toothbrush to gently brush the paint off, leaving a very random chip pattern.
At the moment I'm going to use this technique to do a worn whitewash on a Tiger I.
I don't have a video camera, but I'll try to take some pictures and make a short vid of it..
Keep up the good work!!! :)

Nice work again. Your videos have been a big help in making scale models. When you spray with Vallejo-paints, do you use Vallejo's own thinners? When I use Vallejo, it blocks my airbrush. That's why I've changed to using lifecolor instead. Doesn't that hairspray dry inside your airbrush?

I don't airbrush any of vallejo's normal paints, just the model AIR range. Their normal range doesn't lend itself well to airbrushing at all.
The hairspray stays wet for quite a while. As you see in the video, I only use a little bit in the airbrush. I just washed it out afterwards it was fine.

What a pro technique, thank you. Question: When using the hair spray through the air-brush, should the gun be cleaned immediately after? I am assuming it could gum up the needle with a vengeance? Or does it clean up with no problems? Thanks again.

I cleaned the brush out with water after spraying. Even if it gums up afterwards a quick blast of airbrush cleaner will sort it out. I use badger airbrush cleaner which contains acetone. As the Iwata contains no rubber seals in the forward part of the brush I can clean with solvents no problem.
If you do airbrush hairspray then just give it a good rinse through with water straight after and you'll be fine !
