What is chipping medium?

Chipping medium is a weathering agent that creates chipped surfaces to give a more realistic look to your models.

It can be added to vehicles or door edges or in fact anywhere that you would expect to find areas of chipped paint.

It is very easy to use and will give a professional look to your model.

Simply wash your model as you would do normally with warm soapy water, and add a coat of primer, once dry add your base coat. Allow to dry.

Then add the chipping medium to the areas of the model that you want to appear chipped.

When this is dry, add your topcoat of paint.

When this has dried, wet the areas to be chipped with water and with a cocktail stick/toothpick scratch away the paint, the more you scratch the bigger the area will appear.

So for vehicles that have stone chips on their bonnets you will only need to scratch slightly to create the effect; for door edges you may want to scratch a larger area to give the appearance of constant use.

Once you are happy with the finish, add a coat of varnish to seal.
