XF-22 Paint Summary for Model Builders

Tamiya 81322 XF-22 RLM Grey is supplied in a 23ml bottle as a versatile acrylic paint for model assembly and finishing. It is formulated to provide smooth application for finishing touches and general surfaces.

Materials and Recommended Use

This grey paint is appropriate for styrene, Styrofoam, wood and many model plastics. Its water-based acrylic composition makes it flexible for brushwork and detailed airbrushing tasks.

Colour Work and Effects

The RLM Grey tone of XF-22 is useful for creating base tones, highlights and subtle weathering. It mixes consistently with other acrylics to tailor shades for dioramas and scale scenes.

Thinners to Use with an Airbrush

For an even spray, thin with official Tamiya thinners. Compatible codes include Tamiya 81020, 81030, 81040, 81520, and 87077 to maintain smooth atomisation.

Is this paint UV stable for outdoor display models?

Acrylics like XF-22 are fine for indoor display; prolonged outdoor exposure can fade colours. If models will be outside, seal with a suitable clear coat to help protect the finish.

Can I use XF-22 over enamel primers?

You can apply XF-22 over fully cured enamel primers, but check adhesion first and ensure the enamel is fully dry. A light sanding and cleaning will improve bonding.

Best practises for cleaning brushes used with XF-22?

Clean brushes with water and mild soap while the paint is wet. For dried paint, use an appropriate brush cleaner and soak briefly to preserve brush shape.
