                        Washing and dry brushing over flat acrylic
                        Posted by Robert92562 on Sunday, November 29, 2009 9:33 PM

                        I have a question about washing and dry brushing. I looking to do a wash over a drap olive acrylic.

                        Can i use an oil base paint over a flat acrylic? I'm looking to just highlight some bolts and seam's on a tank.

                        What color would work best just to show a slight weathering effect.

                        Any help would be great.

                        Thanks

                        Bob

                        for drybrushing use the color steel on the bolts and seams you want to do

                        I use oil based washes over Tamiya flat acrylic all the time. Just make sure you use a very small brush, and don't deposit a lot. Better to do it in two to three layers. I use raw umber mixed with mineral spirits.

                        Thanks for the responses. I'm looking forward to doing this wash. I'll post some pick when its complete.

                        you can use an oil wash over flat acrylic, just make sure you take it slow. Unlike a oil wash over gloss coat which can be easily removed, its much tougher to remove a wash from flat paint.
