Here is the last pic showing RBOX 33604 shiny and clean …



This is how I turned it into a rustbucket: First I carefully sanded off the lettering before painting the sides of the car with my airbrush to get a dirty, grimy look. I used a 1:1 mix of brown and black acrylic paints that was heavily diluted. It took at least 10 to 15 passes with the airbrush to build up the right amount of dirt. Because the paint being so thin, I had to dry it with a hairdryer after each pass or it would start to run. Next I painted the roof using two shades of brown (acrylic paints). First I applied the lighter, more yellowish color, stippling with a paintbrush using only very little paint. Then I applied the darker brown, again building it up slowly. Some of the rusty patches on the car were done with the same acrylic paints I used on the roof but I also used rust colored chalk. I applied clear paint with a thin paintbrush and then used another paintbrush to put a fair amount of chalk on it. After the paint had dried, I brushed off the exceeding chalk.

Decide for yourself if the car is looking better now:
