The Tamiya 80013 Enamel X-13 Metallic Blue offers a hard drying metallic finish that suits a range of RC and scale hobby jobs. Use it on prepared plastic and wooden parts for a clean metallic look; the 10ml bottle is handy for touch ups or small projects.

Thinning and Application Advice

When applying, mix 2 parts enamel thinner with 10 parts paint to get a consistent flow and avoid runs. This mix is effective for both hand brushing and spray methods and helps produce an even metallic surface.

Is a primer needed before using this paint?

Using a suitable primer improves adhesion and evens out porous surfaces, especially on bare wood or unfinished plastic parts.

What thinner should I use with this enamel?

Use an enamel-specific thinner recommended by your supplier. Follow the 2:10 thinning guideline and adjust slightly for humidity and spray equipment.

Any tips for achieving a smooth metallic finish?

Apply several light coats rather than one heavy coat, allow proper flash time between layers, and finish with a clear enamel sealer if extra protection is needed.
