MiG Productions Rainmarks is a light-coloured enamel weathering wash that reproduces the fine, matt streaks left on vehicle surfaces when rain washes dust and grit downward. Apply with a fine 000 brush in vertical strokes down one side of the model at a time, brushing up and down until dry. Three to six coats build subtle, realistic rain streaking that captures how weather marks real armoured vehicles. The product also serves as a matt base for applying dry pigments over its surface.

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.
