Product overview

The 35 ml AK025 Fuel Stains is an enamel made for spills around fuel fillers on cars, tanks, trains and trucks. Apply it undiluted around the inlet, use a fine brush and AK011 White Spirit to draw the marks outwards, then reinforce the area around the inlet with another neat pass. Controlled splashes complete the pattern without limiting the effect to one vehicle category.

  • Work pigments into the treated area when additional surface texture is required.
  • For subtler staining, omit the pigments and dilute the enamel with a little White Spirit.
  • The product can be blended with other enamel colours.
  • Made in Spain.

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.
