I apply the wash with a paint brush. I use artist oils and now I am using Humbrol enamels. I do not use the artist oils anymore because it takes a long time for them to dry. Enamels take less time to dry.
All my base painting is done with acrylics. My weathering is done with enamels or other solvent based products. For fading use about 90% thinner to 10% or less of color. I apply multiple coats to get what I want.
I use enamels because it can be manipulated. It takes overnight for it to really dry hard.
DO NOT allow your fade wash to puddle. You only want the surface damp, not soaked. If you get a puddle over details, wick it away.
