Hobbyist Grade Neutral Grey

Tamiya's XF-53 Neutral Grey in a compact 23ml bottle is a practical choice for hobbyists adding subtle grey tones to kits and dioramas. The water-based paint works on styrol resins, Styrofoam, wood, and most common model plastics.

Techniques and Handling

The XF-53 delivers smooth coverage and adapts to brushwork as well as airbrushing. Its water-soluble formula makes thinning and cleanup straightforward, and it supports blending and layered weathering techniques.

Practical Reasons to Use Tamiya XF-53

Tamiya acrylics are valued for consistent mixing and predictable drying. Neutral Grey is excellent for underwashing, subtle highlights, and adding neutral contrast without altering base colours dramatically.

Will XF-53 cover dark primer well?

Coverage over dark primer depends on coat thickness. Multiple light layers will build opacity while preserving surface detail better than one heavy coat.

What is the best way to remove wet paint from brushes?

Rinse brushes in water immediately after use, work the bristles gently, and finish with a mild brush soap if needed to remove residue and preserve brush shape.

Can I use XF-53 for basing and weathering?

Yes, XF-53 is useful for subtle weathering, washes, and basing effects when diluted. Apply sparingly and build layers to achieve natural-looking wear.
