When you do washes on armor, do you do the washes before or after putting accessories (gas cans, tracks, tools, etc.) on?

It is best to do the wash before adding accessories. This way all nooks and crannies get the wash. If the accessories are alredy on, you may not be able to get the wash and/or the subsequent drybrushing into all areas. I then wash the accessories as well, usually off the vehicle before adding them.

Blouie,
Both! I use washes to extenuated the individual components, as well as to bring them together, e.g., washes to show different effects for items, and an overall weathering wash.
