Hi, I was wondering what specific color(s) of an oil wash would look good on Panxer Grey? I know the darker colors of oil paint do pretty good on models of a lighter color, like Panzer Dark Yellow, but I am curious what would give this same effect on the darker base colors.

Thanks and take care, Sgirty

I would use the same colors for the washes as you would have for panzer yellow.Their job is to represent deep dirts and grimes of the earth.Sure,it will look differant because the base color of the tank is differant than before.But it will still look realistic than if you were trying to' match up' dirt to make the tank look 'good'

Same as Rick, I would stick with a burnt sienna or black for the wash. Will give the same effect, just on a darker base.
