Your armor is a bit too shiney, am i right?

What you will need for your costum dirt:

  • Black acrylic paint
  • Brown acrylic paint
  • water
  • hard brush
  • kitchen sponge
  • wet rag
  • Multi-Cleaner

Mix the paint like this: 3/4 black and 1/4 brown, then add a good shot of water.

Take your clean stuff (like armor pieces, weapons, everything will work.

I used my belly plate of my mandalorian armor (its metal)

Just cover the whole thing with your acrylic dirt. Then wait till its dry.

Spray some cleaner stuff on the hard site of your sponge and distribute it over your object. to use one's discretion

With the wet rag you wipe over it and distributethe paint. Just do it like you want it to look, its pretty easy, just try it :D

imagine where dirt could remain hanging.

results may differ :D
