Preparation and Painting Techniques
Before painting, thoroughly clean and degrease the surface of the model. Using a primer, such as Tamiya Surface Primer, is recommended to improve paint adhesion and final finish.
Brush Painting
Small parts can be painted without diluting the paint. For larger surfaces, a slight water dilution is advisable. To extend drying times and improve control, you can use Tamiya Acrylic Paint Retarder.
Airbrush Painting
When using an airbrush, dilute the paint in a 1:1 ratio with Tamiya X-20A thinner for optimal flow and minimal nozzle clogging. It is recommended to use appropriate respiratory protection, ideally combined with a extraction cabinet.
Mixing Tips
Model instructions often suggest mixing paints to achieve an exact color. For example, "XF-1:2 + XF-4:1" means mixing XF-1 and XF-4 in a 2:1 ratio.
