Deck Tan Enamel for Hobby and Scale Use

Tamiya 80355 XF-55 Deck Tan is supplied in a 10ml bottle and is useful for a range of modelling tasks. It lays down a consistent tan layer on plastic, wood and similar materials while maintaining fine detail.

How to Apply XF-55

The paint works well with both a brush and spray. For spraying, the recommended starting mix is 2 parts thinner to 10 parts paint to achieve smooth atomisation and even coverage across surfaces.

Will XF-55 stick to resin and white metal parts?

It can adhere to resin and white metal with proper prep. Light sanding and a suitable primer will help the enamel bond and reduce the chance of flaking.

Should I seal this paint with a topcoat?

Using a compatible clear coat will protect the enamel finish and help unify sheen levels, especially after weathering or decals are applied.

Any advice for avoiding brush marks?

Use thin layers and allow adequate drying between coats. For large flat areas consider spraying for the smoothest, mark-free finish.
