I'm painting Aquilon Terminators starting with a base of Balthasar Gold, washing with a mix of Druchii Violet and Reikland Fleshshade, and then dry brushing with Golden Griffon. I got too aggressive with my dry brushing or I had too much paint on my dry brush and now the Golden Griffon is too overpowering. Is there any way to bring it down, like should I wash the model again with my shade mix and then try a much lighter application of Golden Griffon?

Repaint and start over. The problem with doing a wash is that it's also going to darken the original base color so you'll still have excessive highlights. Also, as a general rule, don't use GW's drybrush paints, they're trash. Use normal paints and better technique.

In general, less is more. Before putting brush to model, test it on your thumb - if there's too much paint, you can then wipe more off before getting it all over the miniature.

I'm not sure I agree with Peregrine on the merits of GW's Dry paints, though. Admittedly I've only really used Necron Compund, but that's streets ahead of when I was trying to use Vallejo Game Color silver for drybrushing. Perhaps that's more to do with the Vallejo silver being dreadful than with the GW paint being exceptional, though.

I concur that less is more.
I really like Army painter strong tone for mellowing out a drybrushing/highlighting that has gone too far though.

It's actually good form to do this on your model too when painting. It's always easier to add more layers of something than to try and correct paint that's already on the model.

Light drybrush, check under light and see if you're happy with the effect, and build up more light drybrush layers until you achieve the effect you want. No different than any other painting technique.

And yes, the GW drybrush paints are awful.

before you apply your highlight drybrush, you should drybrush with your original base layer to bring the colour back up a little. this way you can focus your lightest drybrush on uppermost areas and areas that will receive the light, and will give a better result.

^ This If you do a wash after your base colour, almost always re-apply/drybrush the original base colour before getting into highlights.

I see several ways:

1) Use acrylic shade to knock it back down and go for another round.
2) If the paintjob is thin enough, prime over the paintjob and start over.
3) when in doubt, alcohol and an Ultrasonic cleaner solve (haha!) paint (issues).
