Add the final layer of realism to your projects with ATOM Weathering, Washables & Auxiliaries. This specialized collection from AMMO by Mig Jimenez provides the high-performance tools and effects needed to simulate environmental wear, rust, and grime with professional precision.

The ATOM weathering system is unique for its user-friendly approach, offering water-based formulas that allow for incredible control. Whether you are adding a light layer of dust to a vehicle or simulating deep oxidation on industrial machinery, these products ensure your weathering looks intentional and scaled perfectly to your model.

What’s in This Collection

This collection features a range of specific environmental tones and technical fluids to enhance your workflow:

• WASHABLE Effects: Specialized tones like Washable Dust, Sand, and White that can be reactivated or blended with water after application for a perfect, soft finish.
• Realistic Rust Tones: A complete spectrum of oxidation colors including Light Rust, Old Rust, Dark Rust, and Chipping colors to create multi-layered metal effects.
• Environmental Tones: Accurate colors for Rubber & Tires, Earth, and Zimmerit to ensure every component of your model matches its surroundings.
• Technical Auxiliaries: Essential fluids including ATOM Thinner and Cleaner with Retarder to improve paint flow, and specialized Chipping Effect fluids for authentic wear-and-tear.

Why Weather with ATOM?

• Reversible Control: Many ATOM weathering products are designed to be "washable," giving you the freedom to adjust or remove the effect until you are satisfied with the result.
• Low Odor & Safe: Water-based formulas make these products ideal for indoor use without the need for harsh, high-odor solvents.
• Perfect Integration: Formulated to work seamlessly with the entire ATOM paint range, ensuring no unwanted chemical reactions between your base coat and weathering layers.
• Fine Pigmentation: The ultra-fine pigments settle naturally into recesses and over textures, avoiding the "clumpy" look of DIY weathering attempts.

Pro Weathering Tips

• The Chipping Method: Apply the Chipping Effect fluid between your base coat and top color; once dry, use a damp brush to gently scrub away the top layer for realistic paint chips.
• Adjustable Dust: Apply Washable Dust over a satin surface. Use a clean, damp brush to "streak" the dust downward, simulating the way rain and wind move dirt on real vehicles.
• Retarder Benefits: Adding a drop of ATOM Retarder to your mix during weathering helps keep the paint workable for longer, allowing for smoother blends and transitions.
