Hello! I just picked up Mig Wash for Panzer Grey and I was wondering if anybody has any experience with this product? I applied it out of the bottle to a Grey German Utility Truck (Italeri 1/35 Kit) and it completely ruined the model. The kit was painted, dry brushed and just about finished. However, now I have to start over. Certainly not the end of the world. After I applied the wash it turned the model Green. Almost like I was applying paint instead of a wash.

So my guess is that you have to thin the wash before applying? If so what do I use? Enamel thinner? Anyway, any suggestions you may have would be welcomed. Thanks!

The Mig wash is specifically a pin wash. This means that it is intended to highlight specific details and panel lines. For an overall wash, a filter is used. I know it is confusing because the term "wash" has been used for overall coverage and also for pinpoint detail work.

You may be able to salvage your work by brushing out the wash using mineral spirit.

What I don't get until now is why Mig washes come in such a large bottle as compared to filters.

I think they are on the thick side for a wash,I do thin mine down some.

Shawn,
As mentioned, get a can of Mineral Spirits (I use Klean Strip odorless mineral spirits) and you can wash the wash off. A wash should only settle into the panel lines and surface details of the model, not change the color. Thin down your Mig wash with the mineral spirit if you are doing an overall wash.
I would also recommend an acrylic clear coat over your bare paint before you start weathering so that washes and other products do not stain the paint.

Some great suggestions and information. I just went ahead and put a coat of primer on in it and will go through the process again of painting and detailing it. Thankfully it is a pretty straight kit so it will not take me too much time to get it back up to snuff. In the future I think I will go back to using oil washes which are a bit easier to work with. Thanks again!

I second the suggestion to use a layer of Future acrylic clear coat under the wash. I found the similar (more gray) Dust Effect wash most controllable. It thins as needed with mineral spirits with no base coat damage after using the Future clear coat.
