So I have been using a air brush for the first time and I just wanted some tips.

I am doing a necron ghost ark as my first progect and am doing it in a blue and gold theme. I primed it in black and Laid down the blue on it. What should the next step be?

Should I wash and highlight the blue and then add gold?
Or add the gold wash it all and highlight it? I am just looking for the easiest way to do it all.

Here is what I have got so far think I have the ratio to thinner down as I get a real smooth coat.

Being as your airbrushing, you might want to try a bit of shading with it, mix up a lighter blue, and spray it from above only (or wherever the light comes from).
then go about your usual washing, edge highlights, other colours as usual
This is what I do with my purple space marines, spray the primer, purple basecoat, a mid purple from a 45 degree downwards angle all around, then a lighter purple again from directly above, then a wash and an edge highlight before doing the secondary colours.

Cool thanks for the tip I wi give it a go.
When you wash do you spray the whole model or just from a angle?

As you can tell I am very new to airbrushing and want to learn all I can.

I would wash with a brush still, spraying washes with the airbrush gives more of a subtle tinting all over than a shading of the recesses as you might think, unless you spray it so heavy that its a puddle...
