How do you get it so bright? Mine stays dark green
The number one thing to make sure of when using Dirty Down is to mix it thoroughly. The greatest sign of an unmixed pot is a dark, sometimes glossy wash as a result. There is a LOT of goop in bottom of the pot. Use a vortex mixer for 30 seconds or scrape the bottom of the pot to free up the ball bearing then hand shake for 2 minutes for best results. Remove what you have already applied before applying a new layer as each subsequent layer will just darken.
For an even brighter result, apply the dirty down then immediately dip your brush in your water pot and stipple on equal parts water to the wet dirty down. This will shift the color much brighter and give a more natural gradient to your verdigris

Is it water you're whiping it of with or iso alcohol like with oil washes?
Just water and a paper towel!
@@goblinshut Thanks for the reply! does Sealing the paintjob with varnish damage the effect?
@@MadassSoerensen The manufacturer states it should be varnished before applying other paint. I have found most varnishes to reduce the effect, especially matte varnishes. The community on our discord has had the best luck with vallejo satin. I later varnished this statue with Vallejo Satin liberally and it help up well.
Just one question- can you thin it?
Everything you thin it with will give a different result! Water will get it brighter to even an powdery white. alcohol will get it to about a halfway point
Not sure if I got a bad batch - it has stayed dark green (like a dark wash of its color in the bottle) on everything I've tried it on so far. Waiting, heating, adding water don't do anything. The rust one has been working quite well but for this one to not seem to work for $20 is a bummer - any advice would be appreciated, it looks lovely in the video!
If it's dark and glossy it means you need to shake and stir until you can't scrape anything from the bottom. The stuff on the bottom there is the magic ingredient and will give you the best color gradient! If you mix like that every time you're good to go. It needs to be mixed much more than a GW paint
far as i could gather from the demonstration videos i've seen, the really pale patina is a result of wiping/blending the edges with damp kitchen towel or brush (just water). otherwise, the amount applied seems to have the biggest impact when it comes to creating seemingly separate effects/layers, and as mentioned in the above comment, the instructions say to shake it thoroughly and use it ideally in a warm environment. I haven't gotten my hands on these paints myself yet, but i just ordered the rust and moss ones, eager for them to arrive.
Cool. Where did you get the statue to use.
It comes in a Kill Team box set. Sector Sanctoris
But then you can't do anything else to the model, or get it wet in any way.
You can absolutely handle this model after the dirty down has dried to paint other areas. You can dry brush or layer over it as well!
After airbrushing varnish over the dirty down in thin layers, you're good to go with subsequent layers! I prefer Vallejo satin varnish thinned with an alcohol based thinner but many others in our discord have great advice on other options they've tried. Pictures of this statue varnished heavily are posted in our discord.
If you're interested in the many way's I've continued to paint models where I used dirty down, please feel free to check out my Instagram @gobble_inz.
I definitely found these products hit and miss. The rust effect has been great but the verdigris and moss have been a nightmare. I've mixed the contents until they can't be mixed any more but the magic isn't happening. Maybe a bad batch for me?
