AMMO Oilbrushers from Ammo Mig are ready-to-use oil weathering colors packaged in convenient brush-top bottles. Designed for scale modelers, Oilbrushers make it easy to create realistic grime, rust, streaks, fading, and blended weathering with extended working time and excellent control.

Ideal for model railroads, armor, aircraft, vehicles, figures, and dioramas, Oilbrushers eliminate guesswork by providing pre-mixed oil colors that blend smoothly and stay workable long enough to refine effects exactly how you want them.


Why Use AMMO Oilbrushers?

  • Ready to use: No mixing palettes or oil tubes required.
  • Ultra-realistic finish: Natural transitions and depth oils are known for.
  • Precise application: Built-in brush lets you place color exactly where needed.
  • Layer friendly: Perfect over acrylic base coats and sealed surfaces.

Where Oilbrushers Fit in the AMMO Workflow

Oilbrushers are best used after your base paint and early shading, adding depth and realism that brings a model to life.

  1. Base coat: Paint with ATOM Color Acrylic Paints or compatible acrylic systems.
  2. Early tone: Add variation with AMMO Mig Shaders or Acrylic Filters.
  3. Oil weathering: Apply AMMO Oilbrushers for grime, rust, fading, and blending.
  4. Detail depth: Reinforce lines and recesses with Acrylic Washes if desired.
  5. Seal: Lock in effects using AMMO Lucky Varnish.

Perfect for Model Railroads & Heavy Weathering

Railroad modelers rely on AMMO Oilbrushers for realistic fuel spills, roof grime, rust blooms, and underframe dirt on locomotives and freight cars. When combined with AMMO Mig Rail Center , Oilbrushers add organic depth that’s difficult to achieve with faster-drying products alone.

For best control, apply and blend Oilbrushers using quality tools like AMMO Synthetic Paint Brushes .


AMMO Oilbrushers FAQ

What are AMMO Oilbrushers used for?

Oilbrushers are used for blending, grime, rust, streaking, fading, and subtle color variation using oil-based weathering with long working time.

Are Oilbrushers beginner friendly?
