Mission Models weathering paint for scale models

What’s in this collection

Bring your models to life with Mission Models weathering paint, specially designed to reproduce the natural wear, rust, and dust that make a miniature feel authentic. This line includes colors such as Tire Black, Dust, Rail Tie Brown, and several transparent tones for layering effects. Each bottle provides fine pigment dispersion for ultra-smooth application—ideal for both airbrush and brush techniques.

Formulated in the USA, these paints are non-toxic, odorless, and water-based, making them safe for home studios while delivering professional-grade results. The line features specific tones to simulate dirt accumulation, corrosion, oxidized metal, and even faded paint due to sunlight exposure. Whether you’re weathering a tank, a train, or a sci-fi vehicle, Mission Models offers the shades and transparency levels to achieve convincing aging and texture depth.

Benefits, uses, and practical tips

Using weathering paint from Mission Models enhances your control over realism. Each pigment has been tested for historical accuracy and surface consistency, offering flexible layering without buildup or loss of detail.

• Apply directly on acrylic base coats or sealants for precise blending.
  Their unique resin system allows reactivation with water or thinner for soft transitions.
• Combine transparent and opaque tones to create complex dirt gradients, streaks, or dry mud effects.
  You can thin the paints with Mission Models thinner or transparent medium to fine-tune opacity.
• Compatible with primers, varnishes, and most model surfaces—plastic, resin, or metal.
  They dry to a semi-matte finish that accepts enamel washes and oil filters perfectly.
• Clean easily with Mission Models thinner or warm water after use—eco-friendly and safe for everyday work.

Modelers appreciate that Mission Models weathering paint retains subtle hue differences under matte varnish, keeping the same tone you see during application. It’s also forgiving—errors can be softened or removed with a damp brush for minutes after spraying.
