Okay, so i just recently spray painted all my units Skull White. And my color scheme is All White with Badab Black in all the little cracks etc. (Especially the Fire Dragons). So i need help and tips on how to get it to stay. The Manager at my FLGS told me to spread Badab Black All over my units and touch up with white. BUT, whenever i do it my Units turn all grey then its impossible to touch up and stuff. Any ideas?

Just paint the wash in areas where you want it to go, which will decrease all the clean up from the wash.

Or you could, you know, wash the whole thing and paint over the raised parts. The grey will be light enough so that it doesn't show through the white.

You've picked a very tough colour scheme there. I'd do it the other way around, i.e. basecoat black, then use Adeptus Battlegrey (a foundation paint) to paint (or drybrush if you prefer) the armour plates, and finish off with white. As others have mentioned - the only real way to do what you want with inks is to use a fine brush to 'target' the wash - and this will require several coats, then you'll have to touch up with white anyway.

Or you could give it a worn look of a fadded white with the baddab black, its a light coat i did when converting my army to white skulls
