Can somebody please explain this to me?

Hello everyone, just had a question. I saw on the forums a little while back about somebody using salt on their Marder III to simulate chipped paint. How does this salt technique work? Thanks everyone.

Follow this link to Swanny’s site for a salt how-to.

Nice site…added to my favorite list. wasn’ t there an article on this in FSM once???

Yes, there was an article on this, where the salt was used to weather an aircraft. I can’t remember the issue exactly, but swanny’s site explains it perfectly, and if you still have problems with it, you can allways ask someone here.

It’s a great (read: cheap and easy) technique to use. I’ve tried it a couple of times. It’s good because the paint actually looks like it was chipped, but I found that controlling where I wanted the salt and didn’t took a little bit of patience…
