About Sand Brown This golden light brown spray is a lighter shade of the browns and makes things look a little less dirty.

Landscapes On grass, tree and shrub foliage Sand Brown looks a lighter brown colour and in fact is quite good because it is not so dark, not as visible as Mud or Oil Brown. It's a very versatile colour and looks good on ballast as well as roads, but I believe Mud Brown might be a better colour for these uses.

Models Sand Brown looks like a sandy dirt when applied to model houses and trains. It's not too dark and is not as visible as Mud or Oil Brown. We use it a lot at exhibitions to weather our plastic model houses because it's a gentle colour and works really well with Light Grey and Slate Grey. Ask us to show you at an exhibition. As with the other colours, it's not very visible if applied to a dark surface. Works well on wagons and carriages as well, a gentler shade than Mud and Oil Brown.

A Dye & Not A Paint The sprays are translucent dyes and will not cover/obscure in the same way as a paint. The colours will look different if applied to different things like absorbent tufted grass in a landscape, or perhaps to the non porous coloured plastic surface of a model. Test the sprays before use to ensure that the colour is right. Because the sprays are translucent, they will also look different if sprayed onto different coloured plastics because the colour of the plastic will most often still be visible through the spray. Colours will look different if applied to a matt surface or a glossy surface.
