It's similar.

Mix your wash very thin - eg. 90-95% thinner, and touch the tip of your brush to the part you want to highlight. Capillary action will draw the thin mix around the part (eg. bolt heads) or along corners and panel lines.

So it's like doing panel lines on a plane with a fine tip brush?

A "pin" (or pinpoint) wash is simply a localised wash applied to specific details, such as bolt heads, crevices, panels lines etc., applied with a fine-point brush, as opposed to a conventional wash which is applied to a wide area using a broader brush.

Pin Washes

Many modelers use the term pin wash. I know what a wash is but not a pin wash. So does any one know how to do it with vallejo acrylics?

 Thanks,
