Vallejo Grey Wash

The panel-line wash that makes vehicles and armour look real. Vallejo's Grey Wash, from the Model Wash range, is a ready-to-use, high-capillarity acrylic that flows into rivets, recesses and panel lines to pull out every detail and add convincing grime and wear. Dries in about 20 minutes so you can keep working, and cleans up with water.
