Product overview

Dark green AK026 Slimy Grime Dark recreates damp, newly formed moss, algae and slimy decay on masonry, boats, wooden doors and amphibious vehicles. This 35 ml enamel can be placed around details or between rocks and softened with clean solvent, AK011 White Spirit, before it dries. The colour suits surfaces affected by water, bacteria and persistent humidity.

  • It may be applied directly without prior thinning.
  • Mix it with AK079 Wet Effects to increase the impression of moisture.
  • Use it to tint another product when representing standing water.
  • AK027 Slimy Grime Light can be combined with the dark colour.
  • 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.
