Product of the month: Resene FX Faux Rust Effect

14 Dec 2022

If there is one thing a lot of new projects have in common, it’s that they strive for weathered finishes, that helps to make them blend into the environment with the sense they have been there for years. 

Resene FX Faux Rust Effect is designed to help you achieve an antique and rustic look for your next project overnight at a fraction of the cost of weathering steel. It is the perfect way to achieve a rusted feature on the exterior or interior of a project.

Resene FX Faux Rust Effect is ideal for landscaping projects. It can be applied to wooden or concrete surfaces to create a rust effect as an alternative to weathered steel.

Resene FX Faux Rust Effect will continue to develop as the coating ages and rusts. Specify it on a wide range of surfaces, such as blockwork, concrete and primed timber in non-contact areas.

The product comes in two parts – the paint basecoat followed by the activator.  The colour intensity and depth of the rusting effect depends on the application and technique - the more activator applied, and the sooner it is applied after the basecoat is touch dry, the more impressive the rust effect is.

Resene FX Faux Rust Effect is a quick and easy way to add a unique feature to a project, both for new buildings, landscaping and renovation work.

This landscape sculpture is made from reclaimed wood coated with Resene FX Faux Rust Effect to replicate a rust effect.
