I just bought my first Sin Filters. The WW2 German set. I applied the Tan filter on a tri-color finish. It did darken a bit but not as dark as I was hoping. If I add the filter for the Dk Grey finish (which is bluish), will that affect the first layer of filter i rubbed on? Would one filter over another be okay?

Here's a link to what I've done so far:

It's got a feathering from Tamiya Weathering sets. Can I still add mor filter?

If you want to darken,don't use that gray,just add more coats of the tan,progressively,they will darken the overall color if that's what you want.Or you can go with an overall burnt umber wash to darken it up.
