yup that's how the wash works, but its not effective on untreated kits.

washes usually is comprised of very thinned paint. If your model is unpainted it would be pretty hard for the paint to stick to it. You may try spraying your kit with clear coat ( I recommend hthe non glossy kind) and then do the wash.. My 2 Cents ;D

No not surfacer, since your not gonna paint it right? Clear coat comes in a spray can or bottle (airbrush) Basically it's clear paint. I use it to seal off the dry transfers and decals to protect them scratching. |

what do you mean "untreated"? no paint, no clear coating or whatsoever. untreated like lonely wolf said, you have to clear coat first your kit before you wash, so the ink can run along the grooves of the kit and give that very thin black line. i've been meaning to try this with an oil wash. lonewolf- what kind of wash do you use? oil? acrylic? and may i know your formula?and can i also use clear coats for an untreated kit? |

I use acrylics since my paints are lacquer it does not react to one another and is water based for easier management. |

i think GUNZE brand would be best for wash. kaso last time i made an acrylic wash hindi maintindihan yun nangyari... the formula was 1 part acrylic and 5 parts(i think?) dish washing liquid (joy) and very little water. the problem was the paint was coagulating, becoming stringy sa dish washing liquid. ganun ba talaga yun lonewolf? or is it supposed to come out like dirty water? meaning the paint and dish washing liquid are blended to one another.

I had the same thing happen to me with a Gunze acrylic paint, the paint became "chunky" when mixed with water. Sabi sa akin may 2 types of acrylic yung Gunze, isang water-based at yung regular na acrylic. I think dapat yata yung water-based yung ginamit mo.

no... that's the formula... acrylic paint, dish washing liquid, and water and mix them all up. the purpose of the dishwashing liquid is that it will allow you to wipe off the excess paint from the kit, making it somewhat "erasable". without it i think you won't achieve the desired wash effect... its like you just painted your kit black.
