[Archive] Weathering tones for wheels?

Grimstonefire:

I’m trying to decide what MIG pigment colour to get for weathering on the wheels and lower chassis of CD warmachines?

Something earth toned or would a volcanic ash colour be more appropriate?

As it’s all new to me I’m looking to be a cheapskate and only get one for this (I’m getting standard rust, old rust and black, so I may be able to mix a few more colours with these).

The ones I’m looking at:

Dark Mud



Volcanic Ash



Gulf War Sand



Rubble Dust



Volcanic Sand



Europe Dust



The colours I know I’ll get:

Standard rust

Black Smoke  

Old Rust

volcanic ash, if you'd ask me, but it's up to you.
