It's how washes should be done.
Mix artist oil or enamel paint with thinner to a very watery consistency, something like 10:1 thinner to paint. Take a very fine pointed brush and dip it in the mixture. Place the tip of the brush at the junction of panel lines, at the base of raised details, etc. Capillary action will draw the mixture out, tainting the crevasse or bottom edge. There is minimal to no clean up needed. Additonal layers of acrylic or Future are not needed since you aren't scrubbing or or otherwise disturbing the base layer. Additional applications can be made if the first is too light.
