About product

What the filter does

A filter is a very thinly diluted paint applied over a dry base coat. It does not cover it, it only lets it show through and shifts the overall tone: it evens out areas sprayed in several passes, damps down a shade that is too fresh and gives the surface a depth that a uniform color straight from the bottle does not have. The shade of this filter is named after basalt, so it leans toward gray. It suits everywhere the surface should be cooler and more weathered: gray camouflage, concrete and asphalt in a diorama, the metal surfaces of machines and dark running gear areas.

How to apply the filter

  • shake the bottle thoroughly before use, because in such a thin paint the pigment settles quickly
  • let the base coat dry completely, because on fresh paint the filter dissolves the edges
  • apply in several light passes, not in one wet coat
  • let the area dry between passes and only then judge the result
  • on large areas work your strokes in one direction so that no patches are left behind
  • the thinner intended for this range and the thinning ratio are stated by the manufacturer on the packaging

Filter or glaze

A filter and a glaze for bringing out engraving are not the same thing and one does not replace the other. A glaze is drawn into recesses and pulls shadows out of them, whereas a filter should act evenly over the whole area and should not collect in the grooves. If you want both, do it step by step and always let the previous step dry. Restraint pays off: two light passes can always be followed by another, while one that is too heavy is hard to remove.

Terms of supply
