Ageing Sprays

The more coats applied, the darker the colour gets, and more resistant to washing and general use.

Refer to “Tips & Techniques” for more information.

Computer monitors display colours differently and so these colours are only for guidance.

White Cotton Sprayed

Description of Colour

soot
Soot Black – a rich matt black.
  • Very high density, very dark, almost opaque.
  • A very resistant and permanent colour, no matter what the fabric. Even visible on darker coloured items.
  • Least washable of all our sprays, will almost always leave a black stain.
  • More powerful than the other ageing sprays and takes longer to dry.
  • Great for coal and grease stains.
black

Black – black / blue slate grey colour.

  • Not as dark as Soot Black and dries faster.
  • Washes better. May be left with a light shade of grey on the fabric after washing.
  • Black works well when mixed with Dark Brown and Mid Brown, especially when used on hems.
grey

Grey – light grey colour.  

  • Very light shade, low density, subtle colour.
  • Good for mixing with others or very light shading to just make things look slightly dirty. Several coats looks like one coat of Black (above).
  • It is perfect for its use in TV or films, when the ageing effect needs to be washed completely.
  • Makes a good “sweat” stain effect.
darkbrown

Dark Brown  – muddy brown colour.

  • Medium density, and dries fast.
  • When washed, leaves yellow/green stains on fabric, but this can be good when doing a sweat or dirt effect.
  • Good for shading.
  • If you are buying just one spray, then make it this one or Mid Brown. Both are good for an ageing base coat, or on its own for almost any type of ageing effect.
midbrown

Mid Brown – green muddy brown colour.

  • Medium density and dries fast, great for finishing touches on set.
  • When washed, leaves yellow/green stains on fabric, just like Dark Brown.
  • Good for shading.
  • If you are buying just one spray, then make it this one or Dark Brown.
ash

Ash Blonde. – light brown, slightly golden sandy colour.

  • Medium density and dries fast.
  • When washed, leaves yellow/green stains on fabric.
  • Very popular colour.
  • Try using with Dark and Mid brown for a shading effect. Start with Dark Brown and shade into Ash Blonde.
rust

Rust- rusty red / brown colour with shades of orange and yellow.       

  • Medium density and dries fast.

  • Good “reddish” dirt / rust effect.  
nicotine

Nicotine yellow.- Light dirty Yellow/Brown colour.

  • Very light density.
