Tamiya X-26 CLEAR ORANGE acrylic paint in a 10 ml container is a high-quality product designed for precise painting of plastic models and other modeling surfaces. Its alcohol-based acrylic formula provides excellent adhesion, even coverage, and durability of the finish in a vibrant, transparent orange color, consistent with the X-26 designation.
The X-26 CLEAR ORANGE paint is dedicated to painting plastic models, especially when a transparent layer of color is needed to achieve lighting effects or color details, such as vehicle lights, equipment parts, or special effects. It can be applied with a brush or an airbrush, with the option to thin it depending on the painting technique and surface.
Preparation and Painting Instructions
Surface Preparation
Surfaces should be thoroughly cleaned and degreased before painting. Applying a primer is recommended, especially when using a brush, to ensure even coverage and a durable finish. For this purpose, Tamiya Surface Primer is recommended.
Brush Painting
Small surfaces can be painted without thinning.
For larger areas, a slight water thinning is recommended.
Tamiya acrylic paints labeled with the letters “X” and “XF” are compatible and often mixed to achieve custom shades. For example, model instructions may suggest mixes like XF-1:2 + XF-4:1, meaning two parts of the first paint to one part of the second. X-26 CLEAR ORANGE can be used as part of such mixes, especially to achieve transparent effects.
