Product overview

AK082 Engine Grime is a 35 ml enamel weathering liquid for reproducing the greyish, dark and matt grime seen on engines after sustained use. It suits cars, armoured vehicles, railway stock and trucks, concentrating the effect around engine bays and mechanical areas. Brush and airbrush application provide different levels of placement and coverage.

  • Use a brush when the grime needs to be confined to selected components.
  • Spray through an airbrush for a more broadly distributed application.
  • Soften the result with a clean brush dampened in Enamel Thinner.
  • Build the used-engine appearance irregularly rather than as a uniform coat.

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.
