Dirty Down Yellow Rust – Fresh & Bright Rust Effect for Miniatures

Dirty Down Yellow Rust is a bright, high-impact rust effect paint designed to represent fresher, more active corrosion on metal surfaces. It’s perfect for adding high-contrast, yellow-orange rust tones that stand out on miniatures and terrain.

At Wendy’s Miniatures, we see Dirty Down Yellow Rust as the ideal companion to classic Dirty Down Rust when you want layered, multi-tone corrosion with real visual punch.

Why choose Dirty Down Yellow Rust?

• Vibrant yellow-orange rust – ideal for newer, more aggressive corrosion.
• Ultra-matt finish – zero unwanted shine.
• Designed to layer with Dirty Down Rust – mix or glaze over darker rust for advanced effects.
• Water-soluble – adjust and soften with water during application.
• Perfect for high-contrast weathering on vehicles and terrain.

Best uses for Dirty Down Yellow Rust

• Fresh rust patches on vehicles and machinery
• Edge rust on armor plates and panels
• High-contrast rust on bolts, rivets and weld lines
• Adding color variation to existing Dirty Down Rust layers

Use Yellow Rust to make certain areas pop – hatches, edges, impact points, or zones where water would collect and rust faster.

How to use Yellow Rust (quick guide)

1. Create a base rust layer with Dirty Down Rust or a dark metallic / brown.
2. Apply Dirty Down Yellow Rust selectively to edges, streaks and high-impact areas.
3. Let it dry naturally to see full color development.
4. Glaze, layer or blend with water where needed to refine transitions.

On exposed edges, fresh chips, welds, bolts and areas of intense corrosion where moisture collects.

Can I mix Yellow Rust with other Dirty Down paints?
