Paint Wash VALLEJO Vallejo Ammo Acrylic Wash Dark Brown Wash (2018695)

VALLEJO Vallejo Ammo Acrylic Wash Dark Brown Wash is an acrylic-based wash formulated for shading, panel lining and weathering of scale models and miniatures. The translucent dark brown tone flows into recesses and details to create depth and visual contrast on painted surfaces. It is compatible with acrylic paints and is brush-applied; excess can be removed or blended before it dries to adjust the final effect.

Advantages

This Dark Brown Wash offers controlled translucency that enhances panel lines, rivets and surface texture without obscuring underlying paintwork. Its low-viscosity acrylic formula spreads evenly and settles into recesses, delivering consistent results on plastic, resin and metal miniatures prepared with acrylic base coats. The wash is easy to modify or remove while wet, allowing precise corrections and layered weathering workflows.

Suitable for

• Shading panel lines and recessed details on scale models

• Enhancing contrast on acrylic-painted miniatures and terrain
• Layered washes and selective darkening of specific areas

How to use

Shake the bottle before use to ensure uniform pigment distribution. Apply the wash with a fine brush, allowing the fluid to flow naturally into panel lines and recessed areas. Remove excess wash with a clean brush or cotton bud while the product is still wet to avoid pooling. For stronger shading, apply additional thin layers, allowing each layer to dry. Use appropriate ventilation and follow standard miniature painting practices.

Usage recommendations

Test the wash on a spare piece or an inconspicuous area to check tone and flow on your specific base coat. For best results, use over fully cured acrylic paint layers and dilute with a little water or acrylic medium if a subtler effect is desired.
