I imagine you get quite an interesting final texture. Might give it a try! Sounds like a promising technique Ooogi. I imagine you get quite an interesting final texture. Might give it a try!

Base coat of bright red followed by some watered down brown gives a rusty splochy effect. After the base coat is good and dry I use aresol hair spray on the model and then apply salt from a shaker to the hair spray. After it dries I apply the top coat of paint via spray can. Again after drying I just rub off the salt with my fingers or use an blade to get the hard to reach spots. The results are very random and very convincing. Initially I tried a brush with water to remove the salt and found that just rubbing it off worked just as well. I currently use table salt and hair spray with wonderous results.

Apply the "decals" were appropriate and apply the top coat. remove the tape and you'll have some nice flaking paint chips effects. This works best with bigger models, however.

I guess you'd probably get a nice stippling effect where it didn't anyway which would add to the effect. One concern with using salt is I wonder if it could effect your spray paint at all? Would caster sugar work in a similar fashion but be potentially less of a problem with paint? Salt is an interesting idea, but does it mask well?

Thank you very much, I will try it next month. In my home town frankfurt, there is a shop which sells Marmite! So soon I can compare Nutella with Marmite in a painting challenge... Great!

Although I've seen Vegemite in the US, another option is to use popcorn salt that is very-very slightly dampened to stick to the model. Popcorn salt is really just finely-ground salt, so you could even make your own. Great tutorial!
