Rust Paint

Cadence Rust Effect Paint – Authentic Oxidation for Industrial Art

Cadence Rust Effect Paint contains real metal particles that react with the environment over time to create genuine rust. Combined with the Cadence Rust Activator, this water-based paint gives surfaces a realistic, naturally aged industrial look.

Real Rust, Naturally Formed

As the metal particles oxidize, they darken and develop texture. Applying the Cadence Rust Activator speeds up the chemical reaction, producing a convincing rusted surface. Great for mixed media, home décor, and creative art projects.

Key Features

  • Real metal content – true oxidation process
  • Water-based & non-toxic

How to Apply

Apply to a clean, dry surface. Once the paint is dry or still slightly wet, spray or brush on the Rust Activator. Within 1–3 days, visible rust begins to form. The result depends on humidity and air exposure—each surface ages uniquely.

Suitable for wood, MDF, glass, metal, canvas, ceramic, and stone. Perfect for industrial-themed projects and aged artistic effects.
