Airbrush Friendly Thinning with X-20A

Tamiya X-20A in a 46ml bottle is formulated to adjust Tamiya acrylic paints to a sprayable viscosity. It smooths out application and makes it easier to control paint laydown across body panels and small details.

Benefits for Model Builders

Consistent thinning helps paints atomise properly for a uniform finish and reduces the chance of orange peel or sputtering. X-20A supports better adhesion and a cleaner surface before clear coats are applied.

Application Advice

Work up from a conservative dilution and increase thinner only as needed for your airbrush and paint type.
Use a small amount to clean brushes immediately after painting to stop paint drying in the ferrule.

Can I use X-20A before applying primer?

Thinner is for adjusting paint viscosity rather than preparing surfaces; use primer first, then thin paint for topcoats so the finish adheres properly.

How do I mix metallic paints with thinner?

Metallics often need slightly more thinning for a smooth metallic laydown; test on scrap and apply several light coats rather than a single heavy coat.

Is extra ventilation necessary when using this thinner?

Good ventilation is recommended whenever airbrushing or thinning paints. Work in a well ventilated area or use extraction to reduce inhalation of mist.
