AMMO by Mig Rust Effects for Realistic Weathering

Add Realistic Corrosion with AMMO by Mig Rust Effects

Bring your scale models and dioramas to life with the ammo by mig rust effects collection — the ultimate solution for replicating natural oxidation, rust, and patina. Designed by Mig Jimenez, these paints let you achieve realistic aged metal finishes effortlessly, giving your models that authentic weathered look found in real machinery, armor, and vehicles.

What’s in this collection

This collection features the full AMMO U-RUST range, a line of paints that chemically react to create real rust textures and color variations. Each product is formulated for specific stages of corrosion, allowing modelers to customize the intensity and tone of weathering.

• Powdered Oxide & Deep Oxide – Perfect for base rust layers and initial oxidation effects.
• Black Oxide & Transparent Black Oxide – Add depth and shadow to rusty textures and worn metal.
• Copper Blue & Oxide Patina – Ideal for simulating aged copper, bronze, or maritime corrosion.
• Rust Reactor Type 1 & 2 – Activate and accelerate real oxidation, creating instant surface rust.

Why choose AMMO U-RUST paints

Unlike traditional pigments or acrylic washes, ammo by mig rust effects use real reactive compounds to form genuine rust. This means you’re not just painting color—you’re creating actual oxidation on the model’s surface.

These paints are easy to use, even for beginners, and deliver professional-grade weathering results. Perfect for tanks, ships, aircraft, and industrial dioramas, they allow you to reproduce everything from subtle rust streaks to heavily corroded armor plates.

How to use them effectively

Before applying, shake the bottle thoroughly. Use a primer on metal or plastic surfaces, then layer the U-RUST Oxide tones as your base. Apply Rust Reactors to activate the chemical process, letting it sit until the desired texture forms. For more contrast, mix Deep Oxide with Black Oxide Transparent to build depth and realism.

When finished, seal the surface with matte varnish to protect the effect without losing its authentic texture.
