Well, I was mildly curious at first, but I mean different colors like greens or oranges.
Okay, gummy good..
And no, I'm not using Laquers, I'm just using simple every day Enamel paint, I just worry that applying a wash to what I've already painted will be just like brushing dark paint thinner on it and undo the whole mess.

Drake, here are a few answers for you... A) It really depends on the main colour of your model. It also depends on what kind of look you want. In short, if you want a more realistic look, you'd be using more a dark "German Grey" rather than the standard black. But if you want a more anime look, then go with a black. Furthermore if your main colour is light (ie White), use gray instead of black as black would seem un-natural. What kind of grey would you use? Dark? Metallic? Light? Also, would you use black to ink panel colors such as red, blue, green? Thanks

Drake, the idea is to 'dab' with a very very small amount of paint, thus I said use a 00 brush. Otherwise, you'll definately be leaving a mess. Furthermore, you cant rush the washing process with enamal paints as they take longer to dry than acrylics and furhermore have a higher chance of smudging once dried. So really, you just have to take it nice and slow.
Wakizashi, I think you're not understanding what I'm saying. It doesnt matter if its dark, metallic or light, you go accordingly to the way you want it to look. Its basic, dark colours = darker wash colour, lighter colours = lighter wash. Otherwise just use black which will give it a very basic look, and it'll look very 'anime' if done on white or lighter colours. It doesnt matter which colour the thing is - its dependant on the shade whether its a light or dark colour. And no, metallics also fall into the same category.
Just picture yourself looking at the item (as if it were real). Easiest ones are to look at say a car and a model of the same car (in the same colour). This will give you an idea of what I'm saying, and if you still dont undertstand then there's not other way to explain it as this is as simple as it gets.

Not for an ink/paint wash...spraypaint just sprays on and then sticks. You could do one on top of spray paint, though.

you can always take your spray paint and spray a couple short burst into a paint jar, with that you should have enough paint to dilute with thinner
