I brush painted first the pipes with rust-color from Revells Aqua acrylic paints, it gives a pretty good fundament. Then I mixed Rust pigment with a drop of thinner. The pigment became of course thick as mud, but it was easy with a brush to cover the exhaust pipes. As thinner evaporates quite quickly, just after a minute or two, the pigment mix had fully dried and looked like rust (well like Titanic rust)
Then with another brush, I started slowly but surely brushing off the bigger lumps of pigment.
And indeed, the result looks pretty good and in reality even one step better than in picture.
If i may say so.
