The Tamiya X-2 WHITE acrylic hobby paint in a 23 ml bottle is a high-quality product designed for precise painting of plastic models. Based on an alcohol-based formula, it provides excellent adhesion and smooth, even coverage. The color corresponds to the X-2 designation and matches the illustration shown on the packaging.
The Tamiya X-2 WHITE paint is suitable for painting plastic models, including cars, airplanes, tanks, and other miniatures requiring a white finish. It performs well with both brush and airbrush techniques.
Painting with a brush
Ensure the surface is clean and degreased before application.
Using a primer, such as Tamiya Surface Primer, is recommended for optimal adhesion and a uniform finish.
Small areas can be painted without thinning; for larger surfaces, a light water dilution is advised.
When airbrushing, it is recommended to wear a respiratory mask and conduct operation in a spray booth with extraction.
Color Compatibility and Mixing
Tamiya X and XF series paints are compatible, allowing you to create custom shades by mixing. Model instructions often specify mixing ratios, such as XF-1:2 + XF-4:1, meaning 2 parts of XF-1 mixed with 1 part of XF-4 to achieve the desired tone.
Preparing Surfaces for Painting
Ensure surfaces are thoroughly cleaned and degreased.
Applying a primer is especially important when painting with a brush to ensure durability and uniform coverage.
