AMMO Mig Jimenez Acrylic Filters – Subtle Tone Control & Color Unification

AMMO Mig Jimenez Acrylic Filters from Ammo Mig are transparent, low-intensity acrylic weathering products designed to unify colors, adjust tone, and simulate environmental effects on scale models. Filters subtly shift color without obscuring detail, making them essential for realistic finishes.

Acrylic Filters are ideal for model railroads, armor, aircraft, vehicles, figures, and dioramas—especially when you want to reduce contrast, simulate sun fade, or bring multiple colors together into a believable, scale-correct finish.


Why Use AMMO Acrylic Filters?

  • Subtle, scale-correct effects: Adjust tone without overpowering detail.
  • Unify finishes: Blend decals, paint, and weathering into a cohesive look.
  • Acrylic & low odor: Easy cleanup and indoor-friendly.
  • Brush or airbrush: Flexible application for broad or targeted effects.
  • Layer friendly: Designed to work cleanly with other AMMO products.

Where Acrylic Filters Fit in the AMMO Workflow

Filters are typically applied after the base color and before heavier weathering. They help “set the stage” so later washes, streaking, and oils look natural.

  1. Base coat: Apply your main colors using ATOM Color Acrylic Paints or similar acrylic systems.
  2. Tone adjustment: Apply Acrylic Filters to unify colors, soften contrast, or add sun fade.
  3. Shading: Enhance depth with AMMO Mig Shaders if needed.
  4. Detail depth: Add definition using Acrylic Washes.
  5. Weathering: Build grime and streaks with Streaking Brushers and Oilbrushers.
  6. Seal: Lock everything in with AMMO Lucky Varnish.

Perfect for Model Railroads & Fleet Finishing

Railroad modelers use Acrylic Filters to fade freight car sides, tone down bright factory colors, blend decal film, and unify entire cuts of rolling stock. When combined with AMMO Mig Rail Center , filters help create consistent, believable fleets without heavy buildup.

For best control, apply filters with quality tools like AMMO Synthetic Paint Brushes .


AMMO Acrylic Filters FAQ

What do acrylic filters do?

Acrylic filters subtly shift color tone and unify finishes without covering detail, helping models look more realistic and less “painted.”

Are filters the same as washes?

No. Filters affect the entire surface tone, while washes flow into recessed details like panel lines and rivets to add depth.

Can acrylic filters be brushed or airbrushed?

Yes. Filters can be brushed for targeted effects or lightly airbrushed for smooth, overall tone adjustment.

Do filters work on model trains?

Absolutely. Filters are widely used on locomotives, freight cars, passenger equipment, and structures to simulate sun fade, dust, and environmental wear.

Should acrylic filters be sealed?

Yes. Once dry and you’re satisfied with the result, sealing with AMMO Lucky Varnish protects the finish and prepares it for further weathering.
