Product detailed description
Scratches Effects (35mL)
Water-activated weathering fluid for creating fine scratches, worn edges, and lightly chipped paint. It gives precise control when revealing rust, bare metal, primer, or another contrasting layer beneath an acrylic topcoat.
Scratches Effects (35mL) is a Water-activated weathering fluid for creating fine scratches, worn edges, and subtle paint chips suitable for Military vehicles, aircraft, ships, sci-fi models, railway subjects, machinery, terrain, and dioramas with light to moderate operational wear. Allows controlled creation of small scratches, rubbed edges, and localized chipped paint by revealing the chosen color underneath. Apply over the base color, allow it to dry, and cover it with an acrylic topcoat. Once the topcoat is touch-dry, moisten the surface and gently work it with a fine brush, toothpick, or similar tool to expose the lower layer...
About the product
This specialized chipping fluid is designed for subtle, localized wear rather than large areas of peeled paint. It is applied between the base color and the final acrylic coat, which can then be reactivated with water and gently disturbed using a brush, toothpick, or other suitable tool. The process creates naturally irregular scratches, rubbed edges, and small chips that resemble everyday handling and operational wear. The size and intensity of the damage can be adjusted through the amount of product applied, the drying time of the topcoat, and the pressure used during removal. It is particularly useful for vehicle hatches, access panels, leading edges, walkways, machinery, aircraft, and sci-fi models where carefully placed wear adds realism without making the finish look excessively battered.
Features
- Creates fine, precisely placed scratches with naturally irregular edges
- Activates with water for controlled removal of the acrylic topcoat
- Ideal for light to moderate wear, rubbed edges, and localized paint chips

Tips and tricks
| Category | Description |
|---|---|
| Use | Fine scratches, worn edges, localized chipping, operational wear, damaged vehicle paintwork, aircraft panels, machinery, and sci-fi surfaces |
| Advantages | Precise control over placement and intensity, naturally irregular damage, simple water activation, and faster results than hand-painting individual scratches |
| Weaknesses | Requires careful control of moisture and pressure, as overly aggressive rubbing can remove a larger section of the topcoat than intended |
| Combination | Metallic, rust, or primer base colors, acrylic topcoats, washes, pigments, streaking effects, dust, grime, and protective varnishes |
| Tip | Work in small sections with a lightly dampened brush. Gentle pressure produces fine scratches, while stronger rubbing can remove a larger area of the topcoat. |
