Just got off the Iwata sight. Check out the weathering color kit: Im new to airbrushing and I'm sure you guys with more experience have better colors, but this is a good way for a new person to start in weathering I guess.

Andy, you're wasting your money. Sure you can buy the IWATA weathering kit, or you can just use what's around you. Here's your choices:
Photo 1 - IWATA weathering kit, 10 colors, about $50
OR
DIY Weathering Kit - $0 - FREE!!!!
Photo 2 - Rust - This is an excellent source for Dark Rust, Light Rust, and Opaque Raw Sienna pigments. Surely you or one of your redneck buddies has one in the front yard.
Photo 3 - Oil - The residue inside these makes really great oil stains. There's probably some of them next to the car in the front yard.
Photo 4 - Smoke - Whenever I go flying with you or Rich, I always take a sample from your "landing area". The Blue-Grey Smoke and Smoke residue is very realistic.
Photo 5 - Light Dust - These bad boys crop up all over he place. Just bring a jar and capture one.
Photo 6 - Soft Dirt - Look down. 'Nuff said.
Photo 7 - Fertile Soil - Johnnie has a garden, doesn't she?
Photo 8 - Opaque white - I know you've got a lot of sources for this.
Colors are all around you, man; close your wallet and open your eyes!!!
