I recently painted a large item in a glossy red enamel, and there are a few small patches with bad textures (bubbles, etc).
The item is supposed to be a metal machine that has experienced both subtle battle damage (impact and/ or flame) and handling damage (dust, dents and scrapes), but not long-term damage like rust. I would like to use the weathering step to cover up the patch of bad textures; what would be the best method to obscure these imperfections?
I was thinking of dry-brushing/ dry-blotting matte acrylic over the bad spots, in both faded red and steel grey colors. I'm thinking this picture would be good inspiration: http://www.governmentauctions.org/uploaded_images/forklift-786335.JPG
The matte colors would make the poor texture harder to see, but probably won't completely obscure it. Does anyone have any other ideas?
