- "The Hairspray Technique" has been around for a while. I First heard of it on Armorama and Missing Lynx when guys were using it for worn whitewashes. It's a method for chipping paint using an underlying coat of hairspray, and it produces "True" chips that look fantastic.
This video covers a little on how to use the Hairspray method - though I'm no expert on it! Fantastic modellers like Michael Rinaldi have used it very recently to stunning effect, you can see those models on Missing Lynx. This video should help those of you out there who haven't encountered the technique to get started using it.
I need more practise myself. So let's get busy with the models eh ;) - Навчання та стиль
As a former tank commander (A troop 3/4 US Cav, 25th inf) I like the concern you show with realism, nice work

I know I'm really late, but thank you for your service!
@@rurushu8094 I am even later but still...Thank you Lonnie!
Read about this technique in various model kit magazines, but actually seeing it done is very informative. Will try this one of these days, thanks!
excellent questions... these are good points you raise. Clearcoating the rust first then adding the hairspray - that should work fine ! I don't see a problem with that. It might be a wise precaution... maybe experiment with your brands of clearcoat and see how it works out. As for spraying from the can, the main reason I don't do it is because you have no control over the pressure or spray size coming out. It would blast masking from the model, cause runs..the airbrush just gives control.
I don't even build models, yet I come here to watch your vids as they are strangely satisfying lol. Fantastic stuff
Superbly done, superb finishes and shades of realism.
This channel is a gold mine
Brilliant! I've heard of hairspray used in weathering. Making a wash and such. But this is a new idea. Keep them coming! We all enjoy em.
Wonderful tutorial, and a beautifully detailed model. Thanks for sharing, Jon.

That's a brilliant tutorial Jon. I'm working on some Ork models for my Warhammer 40K army, and wasn't sure how I should proceed after applying the hairspray. This has given me much more confidence. Thank you!
Excellent video. Your attention to detail is excellent. I learned a lot,thanks,Buddyboy.
Great tutorial! I have been experimenting with the hairspray myself and had some problems with removing the paint with a brush, the cocktail pick is an excellent tip! Thanks for sharing.
Absolutely superb tutorial there mate. You're a true artist that's for sure.
Thanks for the tip. I'm coming back to military modelling soon, but in 1/16 scale rather than 1/35 and I look forward to applying your technique to the larger scale.
Hi medic. Thanks for the informative tutorial. Seeing it done explains a lot better than simply reading about it.
Great technique and excellent results. Thanks for sharing.
Very easy to follow instructions, excellent tutorial. Thanks
Well done! Very detailed and neat. Well done!
Very helpful demonstration. Thank you!
Awesome effect man, great example.
I had never thought of that. Thanks. I am just starting to weather my models. Great tip
Very nice. My FOW tanks and Warmchine 'Jacks will be getting some of this done to them. Thank you for posting this!
As always...amazing. Very nice job.
Very, very, very nice work !
Out standing job friend! very realistic
arr man thats sweet advice... i play 40k and i can see endless ways of appling this technique thank you
that rust looks amazing! I'm going to have to try that on the undercarriage of one of my model cars. thanks for the tip. :)
great video! very helpful and instructive,
thanks!!
Fantastic Video! Thank you sir!
Great information, great video!
this is a fantastic video thank you for posting it
Great video. I have not seen "The Hairspray Technique" before. Looks like a good way to weather.
Good tutorial, n scaler- model railroading here, you right us train guys will find this technique very useful. Its been given a link in some RR'ing forums.
Very nice video, thanks for sharing your knowledge!!!
I've tried this before, also on a muffler, but I used an old toothbrush to gently brush the paint off, leaving a very random chip pattern.
At the moment I'm going to use this technique to do a worn whitewash on a Tiger I.
I don't have a video camera, but I'll try to take some pictures and make a short vid of it..
Keep up the good work!!! :)
Very nice video, helped me a quite a bit.
Subbed!
Excellent job. Thanks.
Here's another tool in your model painting tool box. I was recently experimenting and practicing my airbrush skills and new techniques. I discovered that acrylic floor wax is one of the most versatile products out there. Not only does it work as a finish clear coat (with several lite coats it can be very glossy), but it works as the perfect thinner for acrylics. The biggest advantage is it's designed to dry water resistant/repelent, plus it is designed to be very durable to be walked on, can be washed with warm soapy water. So I now just dilute my acrylic paint, let it completely dry then add the second color I want to chip, Then do whatever chipping i need to do. Also I forget to say, because of the properties I described above just add the color of your choice it can work as a primer, or you can just use it as a primer/finish coat. No need for a separate primer.
BennyCFD thanks for that tip mate
I just read this, I'm very interested. What brand is or product name?. And thanks for sharing!!!. Really very interesting.
what brand of floor wax, please?
Excelent technique!!thanls for sharing.
U r amazing you painted that like a boss i bought my first modeling kit from tamiya i havent even assambeld it yet.
Very good instruction!
Great tutorial pal!
thanks dude nice technique!
Brilliant ! Thank you
thank you for explaining.very nice
Thanks for this tutorial.
great technique ^^
Great video, thanks
Sweet tutorial
great video!! very helpfull!
Hi again, thanks for the fast reply.
great work
@ScaleModelMedic THX Mr. hairdresser ;) , will do! Gonna buy me some different brand(s) and try changing the thickness of the layers. Still lot's of ways left to change things around in order to make it work.
Very interesting, while I can't use this right now (I play 40k tyranids) I'll certainly keep this technique in mind if I ever go mech.
Very well done Thanks
Great tip!
@awesomepaintjob
hi mate. This is the second of the 2 videos I said I still had in the old format. This is it for the old quality. I had this all filmed and done back in november, it's just taken a long time for me to get it edited and uploaded.
Any video after now will be done in HD !
nice dude, very nice!
Great video!! i admire ur techniques, do you come up with them? I dont even own an airbrush yet but cant wait to get one. I just wanted to say thank you for sharing this and i hope some day i can be an inspiration to others as you are to me!!
Nice video! thanks for the tips.
Oh ny God this blew me away!!
Many thanks for a very informative tutorial. Going to try it immediately.
After you did this technique to your liking, you could add a varnish...or a dull coat to protect it? Like say, using Microscale Flat or even a Tamiya Clear with enough matt base? Only reason I'm asking is if what I asked above can be done, one could then add washes and streaks without so much worry afterward, correct?
thanks so much for putting this up....please keep them coming.....maybe one about weathering with pigments for begginers?? thanks anyhow!!
I cleaned the brush out with water after spraying. Even if it gums up afterwards a quick blast of airbrush cleaner will sort it out. I use badger airbrush cleaner which contains acetone. As the Iwata contains no rubber seals in the forward part of the brush I can clean with solvents no problem.
If you do airbrush hairspray then just give it a good rinse through with water straight after and you'll be fine !
Nice and clear. The only improvement would be to give some approximate recommended drying times for the hairspray/ paint as you go along.
great vid
@ScaleModelMedic Thanks. I'm planning on trying this for the first time very soon but just wondered in case i decant the hairspray though with the coverage i'm planning I may just spray straight from the tin.
i might try this on an aircraft with a metalic colour underneath, this is great thank you :)
Nice video and thank you for showing us the technique. I'm new to airbrushing and was wondering how you go about cleaning hairspray out of the air brush. Do you just use airbrush cleaner or do you have to use something stronger. I don't know if it matters, but I have a Badger Patriot 105.
I love the video introduction...
I have this video saved and i've referred others to it often.
I always wonder how you got that base coat, what were the colours and the mix?
awesome!
yes of course I do :) I haven't gone, I'm just kept very busy somewhere else! I hope to upload again at some point. Regarding your question the time after application is not a set factor really, it also affects how easily the paint comes off. If you start applying the water straight after the paint is touch dry it will probably slough off in big, flexible sheets whereas an overnight dry and it will probably take some real effort to remove. I would say try a couple of hours for normal chips.
Great tutorial. So far I've only tried color stop for similar effect but it doesn't always give me all control over final effect. I'll try that technique next but...to have rust effect on exhaust pipe I use dry vallejo pigments on wet paint for unevenness in color and texture so can I still use hairspray without spoiling that effect?
@vintagestarwars
This is a good question. The hairspray technique IS used across a whole video, and theoretically there shouldn't be any kind of reaction which would cause the hairspray to stop responding to the water. The only suggestion I can offer is try spraying some old sprue with the hairspray and then leave it for a while to see if it still works. I intend to use a whole-model whitewash doing this technique so I will find out firsthand some day !
awesome! I might use this for '64 Impala im building
any sponge can work, try getting different sizes for different effects. I used the makeup sponges because they give very close dots, perfect for rust. Other types like dish sponge would be good for chipping. In the UK you can get these from any high street cosmetics place, like boots or superdrug.
Great Tutorial. Do you have top use aerosol hairspray or can you use pump hairspray?
@ScaleModelMedic
Right thanks for the tip. Have you ever tried combining the hairspray method and the salt method? Im thinking of trying it to see what happens. I havent even tried the straight salt method yet though, but I might try the 2 of them at once on two different models.
What a pro technique, thank you. Question: When using the hair spray through the air-brush, should the gun be cleaned immediately after? I am assuming it could gum up the needle with a vengeance? Or does it clean up with no problems? Thanks again.
@sorrowman2 tough one... there's a few things that might have affected it. Like spidiq8 says the brand of hairspray may contain something that the paint doesn't like, additional perfumes or conditioners perhaps (man I sound like a hairdresser now). Another thing that can affect it is the thickness of the hairspray layer. Experiment with thinner layers, thicker layers etc.
QUESTION
I am using enamel paint since acrylics seem not to stick to the plastic of my model kits. Using enamel paints for the silver base coating and later for the camouflage, how would the hairspray method be done in this case?
Thanks for the video, what airbrush and compressor do you use.
Nice.thank for the tip
excellent BRAVO
Hi, nice video...got a new subscriber..do you know any good clear paint sealer I been using modpoge but it tends to fade the pain a bit specially on metallics...
Hi Scale model Medic. Great tutorial, I'm modeling HO scale trains, so thanks for the Vids on Weathering a Boxcar as well. Do you know if the Hairspary Tecnique will work with Enamel paint as top layer?
Best Peter
Well done, really informative. Thanks for that!!!
Do you have to use Acrylics colours or can you use Enamel as well?
I like how you narrate in Kipper the Dog's voice ; )
Great video, is there an English version?
@ScaleModelMedic ic..so whatever you put on top of the hairspray that coat would be really sensitive to water but not whats under the coat of the hairspray?or should i coat it with clear before i coat it with hairspray so that it would protect the main color?this is a awsome technique..thanks for the vid!cheers
Excellent! never heard/seen that technique done B4. (GW likes to shelter us mortals from these master methods I think!) But is there anything special u must do 2 clean a brush/airbrush that u've used ur loving tools with? I mainly use acrylics....
PS I'm glad I've found U on here.. U really make me want 2 pull out my old Tamiya Tiger Tank & do that "Kelly's Hero's" diorama project I've promised myself I'd do ...1 day... :)
Keep up the great work I(we) really appreciate it.
What is the name of the music playing on back?? I have heard it somewhere else as well but never found out the name of it.
I don't airbrush any of vallejo's normal paints, just the model AIR range. Their normal range doesn't lend itself well to airbrushing at all.
The hairspray stays wet for quite a while. As you see in the video, I only use a little bit in the airbrush. I just washed it out afterwards it was fine.
Nice video I will try that idea on my 40K titans..
great tequnique.
@AnimePrayer
you're right to make sure they start off doing easy stuff... jumping in at the deep end will kill any fun, always start at the beginning and enjoy it !
nothing bad about watching my videos ;) I hope you keep doing that !
@spidiq8 I cleaned mine out with water, worked perfectly. If you feel there's a bit of residue in there then perhaps give it a squirt through with your usual cleaner. I had a can of badger spray cleaner which I used to use, that would clean just about anything out !!
Very nice... too realistic! ^_^ I use Mr. Color lacquers a lot. Do you think this could be done with Gunze's line of acrylic lacquers?
SMM, I used the hairspray technique for the first time recently on the Tamiya 1/35th Citroen for a worn winter cam scheme over Panzer Grey. While the results werent bad, I used the spray straight from the can so the control wasnt as good as I wouldve liked. Id like to ask you, when you decant it and spray through the airbrush, do you dilute it with anything?
@AnimePrayer
salt chipping is another method for getting this finish. I haven't covered it on here, perhaps I will do it in future.
