Mod #3 Weathered Effect Part 2

Part 1

At last my weathered effect is now in progress!

I found a new trick for weathering effect but maybe not new to you :)

Because I was hesitant to buy an enamel paint just for this project, I tried to be resourceful =) I used what is already available in my tools which is my red primer paint.

Surprisingly, looks like it worked! :D

Here's what I did:

After the painting with red primer in part 1, I coated it with white gloss paint then did some sanding to remove some white paint to reveal the primer red.

I sprayed some lacquer paint in a small container.. or in this case, bottle cap :D

Then applied it by using cotton buds. This is like dry painting.

Also for a better effect, wait for the lacquer paint to dry a little before applying it.

The result:

Thanks for looking! ;)
