Dear all, I am having a hard time painting exhaust in good effect, could anyone kindly share your advise on painting exhaust? What is the procedure and product you use to paint it? Thank you!

Can you be a bit more specific?

Are you wanting to paint the actual metal exhaust parts to show weathering from direct heat?

Are you wanting to paint an exhaust cover to show scorching from prolonged indirect heat?

Are you wanting to paint exhaust staining on an AFV hull?

What type of vehicle are you painting?

i start with a base of flat dark Red-brown (mix of Humbrol Enamel) then i apply randomly a mix of rust pigments (dark,medium and light) the pigments give the right colors shade but also texture,near the exaust also some smoke pigments and oil stain

I paint a base coat of fairly dark red brown(Could be any rust color. Acryllics or enamels). With the paint still semi wet I add pitgments in various rust colors, adding them with a light tapping motion, creating color variations well as texture. Top it all of with black pigments at the exaust tip.

Sorry for not no details given I am painting a TAMIYA Sd.Kfz.222, and I would like to paint traditional type of rusty exhaust.

Another video from ScaleModelMedic. He's showing a chipping technique, but it is on an exhaust.
