Fresh rust has a bright, orange bite to it, and Light Rust is the pigment that captures that first bloom of corrosion. This ultra-fine AK powder is the top note of any rust effect — the vivid streaks and spots on exposed edges, bolts and chipped paint. Apply it dry for a light dusting or wet for concentrated colour.
