akeller Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Hello, I'm switching from enamels to Mission Models water based paints and would like to know the best ways to weather my models. Thank you very much for your help, Al Keller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharleyGnarlyP290 Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Weather like anything else. Being acrylic, they should be impervious to any weathering products including those thinned with spirit-type ingredients. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenshirt Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Rule of thumb is to weather water based paints with oils, and oil based paints with water based ones. IOW, over acrylics, use oils. I don't weather often, but when I do I use an inexpensive set of basic colors, in tubes, I picked up at Michael's. I put a dab of the colors I want to use into a bottle cap, mix in some Grumbacher oil medium (II for slow drying, III for faster drying which is still slow).
