Product overview

Pure Grime is a 30 ml Deep Shade — an acrylic shading colour for wargaming miniatures — recommended over wood, grey, greenish, yellow and orange base tones. Flowed over a basecoat, it runs down into the crevices to add depth and pick out detail, and it dries to a matt finish. It slots into the range's paint-in-three sequence: lay your base, drop in this shade, then bring back the highlights.

  • Best over wood, grey, greenish, yellow and orange base tones.
  • Acrylic, with micro-fine pigment under a micron in a clear resin; dries matt and won't lift once set.
  • Adjust its transparency with the matching AK13010 Deep Shade Medium.

Notes · Q & A

What is a model wash and when would I use one?

A wash is a very thin, highly pigmented acrylic fluid that flows into recessed detail by capillary action. Apply it over a sealed base coat to add shading around panel lines, rivets and surface texture, or use it as a full-surface filter to shift the overall tone of the model.

Do I need to seal the surface before applying a wash?

A smooth, sealed surface gives the wash a consistent flow and makes cleanup easier. A coat of gloss or satin varnish before the wash prevents it from staining a matt base coat unevenly.

How do I apply a wash and clean up the excess?

Load a soft brush and touch it to the area you want to shade; the wash will flow into the recesses on its own. After roughly 20 minutes of drying time, wipe away any unwanted residue from raised surfaces with a clean, slightly damp brush or cotton bud. These washes are water-based, so tools clean with water.

Can I apply a wash with an airbrush?

Yes. The manufacturer confirms these washes can be applied by brush or airbrush. A light, even pass with an airbrush works well as an overall filter to unify the tone of a model or add a subtle colour shift across a large surface.
