A wash, but....
Posted by ipms40049 on Sunday, May 30, 2004 4:00 AM
....Does anyone know of a way of using Testors enamels as a wash, over a base coat of Testors enamels, without having to put a flat coat over the basecoat without disturbing it?
or is that the only way. Or, can you use something besides a lacquer thinner to wash it with that wont disturb the enamel basecoat?

TIA
Pat

you can get away with washing your model with mineral spirits as it is not as harsh. i've gotten away with it a couple of times but you will be taking a chance every time. i also use mineral spirits to thin my wash paint to run the panel lines. you just have to wipe the excess very gently and keep the wiping to a minimum. later.
