Dark Wash on Flat Paint?
Posted by mllattanzi on Thursday, September 5, 2013 12:19 AM

I painted my model with a flat coat to seal in the paint and now I want to try using a dark wash. Is it ok to add a dark wash to a flat coat or should I gloss coat it first?

I once applied a dark wash over a flat base coat. It worked OK. But because a wash didn't flow very well over a flat coat, I ended up applying too much and spending too much time on cleaning excess washes. You'd better apply a gloss coat first.

You can use a flat coat for an overall grime wash,if you want a pin wash,then go with the gloss coat so that it flows into he crevices
