Coloring Rock Casting/Carving???? Newbie mistake!

So, Guy, I guess you are saying, once I messed it up, there is not much I can do to fix the problem. <br /> <br />Know the spray system will work because after I messed up, I made a new casting for practice (which is what I should have done originally). On the "practice" casting I sprayed the India Ink wash, followed by "dirt" wa***hat I thinned much more than I had before and it came out perfect. First time around I did not thin the "dirt" color enough, had sprayer problems, and as a result the dirt "wash" overwhelmed the gray wash making the rocks look like the surrounding dirt. I tried more gray on top, but that just made it darker. What I am trying now is to find a way to make the rocks that are too dark and too dirt-colored look better (without have to yank all the castings out of my terrain and start over. They looked so good before I started with the washes (blended with the surrounding terrain, etc.). Oh well, live and learn. <br /> <br />Thanks for your comments. This is a great forum. <br /> <br />J
