XF-85 Rubber Black paint is primarily intended for painting plastic models, including cars, aircraft, military vehicles, and other miniatures. Thanks to its alcohol-based formulation, it provides good coverage and creates a long-lasting coating resistant to wear and fading. The product performs excellently whether applied with a brush or an airbrush.
Compatibility and Mixing
Tamiya paints are distinguished by standardized numbering (designations XF- and X-), allowing for mixing to achieve custom shades. Model instructions often specify combining certain colors in particular ratios (e.g., XF-1:2 + XF-4:1). This approach makes it easier to match colors to original details and desired effects.
Preparing Surfaces for Painting
Before applying paint, the model should be thoroughly cleaned and degreased. Using a primer is recommended, as it significantly improves adhesion and the final appearance of the coating, especially when applying with a brush. For quick and effective priming, Tamiya Surface Primer is highly recommended.
