Painting miniatures tips..?

For any artists out there. I’m painting metal minis and need help with darkwashing. I’ve done research however, not happy with results. I used Future polish/water mix with acrylic paint. What paint/ink is best to mix in the darkwash (Testors, Americana, Tiyama, Vallejo)?? What brand works best? Any suggestions welcome. Thanks.

I am not sure what you mean by “darkwashing”. Do you mean “antiquing”? I have painted for years and have always been instructed to use “like” media. So if you are using water-based paints, then you should use a water based antiquing medium, and a water based varnish. I personally prefer to use acrylic water based products.
