Surface Preparation and Painting
Surfaces should be clean and degreased before painting.
It is recommended to use a primer (e.g., Tamiya Surface Primer) to achieve a smooth and durable base coat.
Brush painting:
Small surfaces can be painted without thinning.
For larger areas, a light water-based thinning is recommended.
The paint should be thinned at a 1:1 ratio with Tamiya X-20A for optimal flow through the nozzle.
Although it has a milder smell, it is advisable to use protective masks and work in a vented area.
Alternatively, stronger thinners such as Lacquer Thinner or Mr. Leveling Thinner can be used, which improve paint flow but may intensify odor.
Additional Information
Tamiya X- and XF- series hobby paints are standard in plastic modeling and are often used as color references in instructions from many model manufacturers.
To achieve specific shades, paints can be mixed in certain proportions, e.g., XF-1 and XF-4, according to the model manufacturer's guidelines.
