I mixed up the filter and used a round filbert(?) brush to apply.
Test turret before:

After filter:

I used a clean brush with some thinner to try to clean up some of the build up. Are the pigments not fine enough? I'm not sure I'm getting it right.
You thinned and applied your filter correctly. The paint and thinner you used was fine as well. Your results are satisfactory. However, you will get better results if you apply your filters over a satin/ semi-gloss surface.
What was your purpose for the filter? If you paint the model the proper colors to begin with you won't need to apply a filter. Dot filtering for subtle tonal variance is completely different but an overall filter to change the color as a whole is only necessary if your not happy with your base color. I fail to comprehend the reason so many people use a filter on their models. What am I missing?
