Vallejo Pigments 73107 Dark Red Ochre (35ml)

Vallejo Pigment FX 73107 Dark Red Ochre (35 ml) is a fine powdered Vallejo Pigment FX in the shade of dark red ochre. It is suitable for rust, oxidation, weathered welds, damaged edges, exhaust pipes, tracks, and areas where corrosion and dirt naturally accumulate on vehicles.

Apply the dry pigment with a brush to corners, around screws, on tracks, exhausts, or damaged paintwork. For more pronounced rust effects, mix it with Pigment Binder or a small amount of water to form a paste, and after it dries, touch up with a clean brush.

Work with the pigments gradually and in small amounts. Dry application works well for a light dusting and to even out the surface, while wet application is suitable for thicker layers, mud, rust, or deposits. Before final fixation, it’s a good idea to test the result on an inconspicuous area, as both the varnish and the fixative can make the pigment appear darker.
