No, but when I tried the other way (spray white, black wash, white
drybrush), I didn't like the look of the white--it seemed to spotty
from the black wash underneat. I think that if I were to try covering
black with white drybrush, I'd be doing it for a long time.

I think I've settled on either light green washed with dark green,
which goes with Rhinos and Land Speeders I've already painted, or
white washed with black, which is very easy and looks cool. I'm
just not sure whether the latter method would work as well for
vehicles--I may have to do some gray on those.

thanks,
