AK Enamel effects WASH FOR OIF & OEF - US VEHICLES

AK Interactive AK121 OIF & OEF US Vehicles Wash (35 ml) is a ready-to-use enamel wash with good flow that highlights seams, rivets, welds, panels, and other recessed details. The specific shade is designed for modern American military vehicles in sand-colored finishes from Operations OIF and OEF. The shade of the wash is tailored to modern American sand-colored coatings used in Iraq and Afghanistan and also works well on similarly colored equipment.

The wash is not a full-coverage paint. Its thin consistency allows it to flow into recesses, where it creates shadows and visually separates individual structural elements. The intensity can be controlled by the amount of product applied and by subsequent cleaning of the surface.

Recommended Procedure

1. Shake the bottle thoroughly to ensure the pigment is evenly mixed.
2. Apply to a completely dry, painted or varnished surface. A smooth satin or glossy varnish will facilitate precise penetration into the seams; for unknown combinations, first test compatibility on a hidden area.
3. Using a medium-sized round brush, apply the wash around details, into joints, and into recesses. For a precise pin wash, use a fine, pointed brush.
4. Let the product dry for about 15 minutes. Remove excess with a clean brush lightly dampened with White Spirit or a milder, odorless thinner.
5. Repeat the cleaning process until only the desired shadow remains around the details. Allow the layer to dry thoroughly before applying any further enamel effects.

Practical tip: In addition to the seams, leave a small amount of the product on the lower sections and around details, where dust and dirt accumulate on a real vehicle.

Use AK Interactive White Spirit 35 ml to touch up and remove excess product. For a gentler and less aggressive blending, AK Interactive Odorless Thinner 35 ml is recommended.
