The bottle says this is for dark yellow vehicles. Does this have broader application, for example across other colours?

It's a bit strange how they market this tbh but yeah it's just a dark brownish colour so you can use it on any colour as long as you want a slight brown grimy look. I've even used this as a wash on white and pink vehicles and looks great so it's a very versatile product. This one is designed for yellowy tank camo I think but other shades are maybe better for what you want.

why is this product listed as acrylic when its enamel?

If you check the description, it says "suitable for use with acrylic or enamel paints". It can be used over a base coat of either, but the product itself is enamel, as shown on the product image where it clearly says "enamel".

Great!

Great stuff! Work in a well-ventilated area and get some odourless thinner to help the streak effect, and some IPA to clean brushes.
