How to Paint a Car Transporter Trailer – AMMO ATOM Paints

October 17, 2024 By Francis Porter


With Josu Jiménez

Civilian vehicles offer a variety of exciting painting and weathering possibilities. In today’s video, Josu Jiménez takes you through the complete process of painting a car transporter trailer, from start to finish. Follow along to see how simple yet effective techniques combine for a realistic, striking result!

Josu begins by applying a primer and metallic base coats using ATOM paints. He then adds quick chipping effects with a sponge and ATOM colors. The focus shifts to weathering as he enhances details with an enamel wash, followed by Oilbrusher colors for a lifelike wood effect and streaking. Josu wraps up with additional weathering using enamels, pigments, and realistic humidity effects achieved with Wet Effects Brusher, Fresh Engine Oil Brusher, and black pigment.

These versatile techniques can be applied to any project, regardless of theme! We hope this video inspires your next build.
