Wash before filter or vice versa

Post by Stokesy44 »

Hi Guys

Just a quick one. Do I do a Ultimate wash before or after a dot filter on an AFV?

Embarrassed to ask but what can you do? :doh:

Thanks as always
Its been tried and tested, it works! So don't blame the system if you're no good. :doh:

I did Ultimate wash first then sealed in with gloss coat.

Well, it depends on what effect you are looking to achieve. Just recently I have started doing filters right after painting, then chipping, gloss coat, wash, more chipping if needed, matt coat and I would finish off with a few layers of filters if I would deem them necessary.
Whatever you do, you can't go wrong on Armor in my opinion. I guess you have to figure it out what you want to do with your model :)
