A filter is the least conspicuous and at the same time the most effective weathering layer. It is a very thin enamel laid over a whole surface that shifts its tone by only a shade – just enough for a single-colour camouflage to stop reading as plastic moulded in one colour. This filter is dark brown and built for green vehicles, NATO camouflage above all. It goes on with a flat brush straight from the bottle and is left to dry; it also prepares the surface for the weathering steps that follow. Shake thoroughly before use. The bottle holds 35 ml.

What to pair it with
It is blended with white spirit, which this work cannot do without. Lay matt varnish before the enamel layer and finish the surface afterwards with pigments.
Frequently asked questions
Why is enamel applied over varnish?
The varnish separates the enamel layer from the acrylic beneath. That lets the effect be blended or wiped off entirely with white spirit without harming the paint – which is the whole point of working in enamels.
How long should the effect set before blending?
About ten minutes. Too soon and it wipes away, too late and it will not move. Warmth shortens the window, so on a larger model work section by section.
Does the enamel need thinning?
Not for ordinary application – it goes on straight from the bottle. For a subtler effect thin it with white spirit: the thinner it is, the more delicate the result and the more layers can be built up.
