How to Paint Static Grass to Change the Colour

Kathy Millatt

Published on Thursday 2 March 2017 by Kathy Millatt

Many years ago I planted some grass mats, painted them because I didn't like the colour and then put on some Noch static grass around the edges. Disastrous. The colours didn't tie. This time I'm back to paint it again and this time get it right!

I used my airbrush and although you could probably dry brush grass, I'm not sure I'd want to do the volume that I have.

Materials

Airbrush - I have an Iwata Eclipse CS but anyone will do
Vallejo Intermediate Green
Vallejo Golden Olive
Vallejo Airbrush Thinner
Vallejo Airbrush Flow Improver
Your base scenery to cover any overspray - I used tile grout.
Scenery fixer - in this instance I used water with 1/3 isopropyl alcohol to cut the surface tension
