Andyroo | Pre-shading and post-shading is what I believe you're referring to. One deals with airbrushing a thinnish line of dark paint along panel lines and points of interest after priming but before applying the colour coat, this gives a variation of colours, darker along panels due to the darker "undercoat".
Post-shading is the reverse, you prime and paint as normal but add a few drops of black or darker shade of your top colour then airbrush the panel lines afterwards in the slightly darker shade. I've tried neither of these 2 techniques but I do plan to pre-shade on my next model. I would imagine post-shading would be more difficult with camo colours where you had 2 colours to post-shade....
