2. Apply Dirty Down Moss in thin, irregular patches with a brush or sponge.

FAQ – Dirty Down Moss Effect Paint

Why does my Dirty Down Moss sometimes dry darker than expected?
Heavier applications or very humid conditions can deepen the colour. Apply in thinner layers and build up gradually for more control.

Can I use Dirty Down Moss on plastic miniatures?
Yes. It works very well on plastic, resin and metal – just ensure your basecoat is fully dry first.

Can I combine Moss with other Dirty Down products?
Absolutely. Moss pairs beautifully with Rust, Verdigris and Gore for corrupted, overgrown or horror-themed environments.
