The Story
When the rust needs to look deep and long-standing, Dark Rust is the tone to reach for. This ultra-fine AK pigment lays down the rich, dark brown-orange of heavily corroded metal — the kind of decay that's been quietly eating away at a hull for years. Apply it dry for a subtle stain or wet for thick, textured rust.
