Excerpts from Doctor Ben's "How To #3: Weathering & Painting with Pigments" booklet...

                         

Using Doctor Ben's Industrial Weathering Pigments® I'll try to keep this short, because realistically, I didn't spend the total of an hour from start to finish. The materials that I used for this project are as follows: on package of Doctor Ben's Industrial Weathering Pigment - fresh Rust, one bottle Doctor Ben's Aged Driftwood, a short-bristled, soft, but stiff brush (the brush in the photo is a Floquil brush that has been cut off short), an a small container of water to wash out the brush (if I need it).
	Step: 1  I began with a basic resin casting (Pine Canyon Models) and sprayed it with the least expensive can of flat black paint found at a local home center. If it happens to be sunny outside, lay the casting in the sun to warm up so that the paint will dry faster. Spray the bottom first & when the bottom is dry, flip the casting over and spay the details from ALL sides. Apply a second coat if when the first coat is dry & you can still see the white of the casting. My question is why don't the casters add a little color to these castings? It would make the finishing process much easier & we could see the details much easier!
Step: 2
	Step: 3  I typically skip this next step, but there are folks out there who are interested in how I usually seal a finish. Now you may have heard of using ordinary hair spray for attaching foliage to scale tree trunks. I go down to the local Big Box store and purchase the least expensive "pump" hair spray that I can find. These products are usually made up a alcohol and lacquer. I will use this inexpensive hair spray as a sealer to activate the Doctor Ben's Industrial Weathering Pigments adhesives and done, the pigments are literally sealed to the casting. Now you will have to play with this and not to worry, you can't get too much hair spray on the pigments. But, if you get too much hair spray on the unfinished casting, you will see a slight sheen such as the group of the seven wooden barrels in the image to the left. See the slight sheen on the top of the bottom right barrel top? yep, that what you get, and with a whisk of the brush and some Doctor Ben's Industrial Weathering Pigment, it is gone. Like I stated earlier, I rarely seal the Doctor Ben's Industrial Weathering Pigments. When I demonstrate these products at hobby shows, folks are amazed of the handling that some of the demonstration pieces get and how weathered they remain.
Step: 4 The process of applying the Doctor Ben's Aged Driftwood can also be found here
	Step: 5 So, here is the big secret: I have an article around here somewhere about using Sharpie permanent markers for detailing brickwork and coloring details. Yes, that's correct, and the colors are permanent, and will not fad over time. For instance, I used a red marker to color the soda machine and a yellow marker to color the gas pump. I also used more markers to detail some of the wooden boxes and door, too.
