Key Product Features
Type of paint: durable oil enamel
Volume: 10 ml
Color: Titanium Silver – a bright, metallic silver shade
Compatible with other Tamiya oil paints labeled with X- or XF- codes
Application
Tamiya X-32 Titanium Silver is an excellent choice for painting plastic, metal, and wooden models. Its enamel formula provides a durable, smooth finish with a metallic shine, allowing for realistic detailing of technical parts such as engines, bodies, or weapons. This paint is widely used by modelers for both brush and airbrush work.
Surface Preparation
Thoroughly clean and degrease the surface before painting.
Applying a primer is recommended – for example, Tamiya Surface Primer spray for better adhesion.
The paint also adheres well without a primer, especially on metal and wooden surfaces.
Application Methods
Brush Painting
For small areas, the paint can be applied without thinning. For larger surfaces, a slight dilution with Tamiya X-20 thinner is recommended. Enamel paint applies easily and distributes smoothly, and the same thinner can be used for cleaning brushes.
Airbrushing
When using an airbrush, dilute the paint in a 1:1 ratio with Tamiya X-20 thinner. It is advisable to use respiratory protection, including a mask and extraction system, due to the properties of oil-based enamels. The same thinner is used for cleaning the airbrush.
Color Compatibility and Mixing
Tamiya paints labeled with X- and XF- codes are compatible and can be mixed to achieve desired shades. Many model instructions specify exact mixing ratios, such as XF-1:2 + XF-4:1, meaning two parts of XF-1 mixed with one part of XF-4.
