But considering i'm still very beginner with Airbrush, i'm affraid i'd screw it up.

Only used hairspray to do this a VERY few times before but it has worked as planned every time. When it dries it's fine to paint over, shouldn't be any tackiness to it, I seal the paint with a light coat of varnish before applying the hairspray, and then again once the salts been rubbed off, dunno why.. brain tells me it's a good idea :sidefrown:
i decided to go with water (because hairspray isnt really something we carry around in our house). I like the final result, it really seems to help the salt stick/melt.
Maybe with hairspray it gives a different result tho (since salt wont melt as much), giving it more texture.... anyway, here's my result.

Couldn't say tbh having not used water, maybe I'll try it next time and see what the difference is, that looks great though, excellent result :good:

Pardon my naivete, but I'm not entirely sure what you mean by "painting with salt." I consider myself a fairly seasoned painter and I don't even think I've heard of that. Of course, I never really interacted with other mini aficionados, so I may have a lot to learn. In terms of rust painting, I've always followed this guide: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NnPkPG7iafQ
I discovered it about a year ago (give or take) and it's really helped me to improve my technique. However, you must be doing something right because your rust looks even better than mine. How about a demo?

salt paint technique was used on this page 5 onward http://www.coolminiornot.com/forums/showthread.php?37434-death-guard-wip-(-a-first-)/page5&highlight=death+guard+first%29 basically you spray hairspray onto the piece then cover it in rock salt and apply paint over it.
basically yeah. except i dont use hairspray, i use water (will try hairspray in my next vehicle).
#1 : basecoat your rust color.
#2 : spray water on the model
#3 : apply salt. I've personally let it dry, and removed some after (otherwise it could be overdone and fugly).
#4 : spray topcoat
#5 : wait a good while until its completely dry (even if it seems, let it sit some more)
#6 : brush the salt off. might need running water (melt the salt, making it much easier to remove).
Here's the final result (so far)

that brilliant
i don't think you could cock that up. the beauty is that the water pools where water would pool! so it provides a natural pattern
don't try and act all normal after a joke like that. it won't do!!Not enough salt obviously! (Seasoned, salt, get it?
It's more commonly referred to as salt weathering or a salt resist.
