Rust for rust

[faraway]

Rust is a strange stuff. It soaks the black wash, looks darker and wet and becomes much lighter when it dries again. I did first a good deal of dark brown on the none rust areas to "destroy" the fine black and did than 3 layers of heavy black wash over all. May be even more are required when everything is dry in some hours.

Now, the brown and black wash did help but this method is definitely not recommended. As John points out is this kind of rust sitting on top over everything and does not grow under the paint.



Some hours later when the wash had dried up. The photo is to red. the real thing is more yellow/brown. That's it. The cars will go into revenue service immediately.
