Hi Robert

The technique of adding filters is alot like doing an overall wash but with very little in your brush.Just enough to impart the color onto the model.I let the filter dry completely before adding another.
The colors vary by the color of the vehicle.

If I'm doing a yellow base camo I use a green or blueish green filter.Maybe even a yellowish brown.I've even used a orangeish filter for a tri color scheme.It depends what type of effect your looking for.

For all green vehicles I use a yeelow brown and then a blue-green.The best thing to do is practice on some colors to see what they do.

The filter is done right after you get the main painting done, before any weathering like pin washes ect.

Dry brushing has no affect on the filter.

Have fun!!!
