Rust, a charming sign of weathering, aging, and exposure to the
elements. The scars of time can be as alluring and beautiful, as
they can be painful and fatiguing. Or at least that is when rust
claims its victims and things start to break. Although some projects
require the removal of rust before you can give something
a new lease on life, there are often cases while being creative
where you wished that mother nature would step in and help add
a little bit of rust to give something a little extra character. For
exactly these moments, there is now the Montana Cans, RUST
Effect Spray 400ml.
This easy-to-handle 400ml can is as simple to use as any
other Montana can you are used to. Available in the colors Orange
Brown ER8000 and Brown ER8100, this high-pressure can is
ideal for creating the illusion of rust, or that a surface has rusted
naturally over time. Not only does the Nitro-Combi formula offer
two tones of the color of rust, but also a texture on the surface
of your object that looks deceiving like the real thing.
You‘re probably be asking yourself, „but why don‘t you just
leave your object outside for a while to rust naturally?“ Because
pre-primed wood, concrete, plastic, synthetic materials such as
polystyrene, or flat surfaces such as walls and canvas don‘t rust.
That is until now, with a little help from the Montana RUST Effect
Spray 400ml.
The ideas came flooding and it didn‘t take long before we
were out in the studio, or rummaging through cupboards, looking
for things to upcycle, reinvent, or make more charming with
our new favorite effect can. Our treasure hunt resulted in the finding
of some cool looking planters, an old clock, picture frames,
and a little bike model. All items once cleaned and dry, were given
the RUST Effect Spray treatment. Wherever required, each
item was precoated with the applicable Montana Cans PRIMER
Spray in Universal, Plastic, Polystyrene, or Metal PRIMER. If your
objects are precoated, you can test to see if your RUST Effect
Spray applies straight on.
The high-pressure output in conjunction with the nozzle on
the can (a Standard Round female nozzle), was great for getting
into all those hard-to-reach nooks and crannies of each object.
Mixing a little of the Orange Brown with the Brown was not only
fun, it also made each object look more natural and organic. As
if mother nature had done the job herself. And when the first
visitors started to see what we had achieved, the reactions were
nothing short of „WOW!“
With the new Montana RUST Effect Spray 400ml, not only
have new doors of creativity opened, but also the context of the
materials we can use to make them look natural. Stay tuned for
more projects and artworks using Montana RUST Effect Spray
400ml on allspraypainted soon.
„The RUST Effect Spray is great for giving an
object a used look. There‘s no way you can
make things go rusty faster!“
