washes over MM Metalizer Paint
Posted by wjbwjb29 on Thursday, August 5, 2010 6:49 PM

Hello;
I was wondering what types of washes can be used over MM Metalizer paint. Oil washes take the paint off even when its sealed with MM sealer.

You might be able to use acrylic based washes.  There are several commercial ones made for painting figures for war gaming.  I also make washes for figures out of Future and Liquitex acrylic inks.  You can thin Future with distilled water, if necessary.  I imagine commercial and home-made acrylic washes would be pretty gentle over just about anything.
