Now that I have the "N Scale Model Tech Clutter Pack" I don't have a clue on how to paint it.
These are cast resin, see photo. Any ideas are appreciated.
I see a mix of wood and metal objects. How about an over-spray of a rust red ( like red primer) and a brown to give the metal a basic oxidized appearance and then a small detail brush using a lighter brown for the wood pallets and other shades for any other details you wish to highlight?
I'm going to say a wash of brown first then a thinner wash of rust then some drybrushing with rust again and perhaps a wash of black or A\I to really bring out the details as well to tone down the final dry brushing of rust. hmmm this almost sounds like it would work

I would do as Ralph said, spray it with a rusty primer color. The i would go through and paint each item in the junk pile the colors that they might be in real life, after its all dry weather it up a bit and bam that should look sweet!! Cool resin junk piles BTW

The resin should be washed first, and then I would spray it with a dark primer (black, or some other suitably dark colour). The reason I suggest this is to create the shadows that will be present down underneath all the "stuff" that is piled there. Once that's done, then start picking out the individual pieces using the dry-brush technique and appropriate colours. War Hammer paints (for military miniatures) are recommended by a friend of mine for things that need a little bit of shine.
