How to Use Tamiya 81359 - XF-59 Desert Yellow

The Tamiya 81359 - XF-59 Desert Yellow is a water-based acrylic that gives modellers control over finish and blending. It handles both hand brushing and compressed-air spraying with consistent results.

Suitable Surfaces and Coverage

This 23ml Desert Yellow works well on styrol resins, foam, wood and standard modelling plastics, providing smooth coverage and the ability to feather tones for weathering effects.

Best Practice for Application

Surface Preparation: Ensure parts are clean and dry to prevent adhesion issues.
Brush Painting: Apply several light coats instead of one heavy coat to keep surface detail crisp.
Airbrushing: Thin cautiously with a compatible thinner and test spray patterns before starting the main piece.

Will XF-59 cover primer well?

Yes, XF-59 generally covers primed surfaces nicely. Use a suitable primer compatible with acrylics for the best uniform base.

Any tips for avoiding brush strokes?

Thin your paint slightly, use high-quality brushes, and apply several thin coats, allowing each to dry well to reduce visible brush marks.

Can I seal the paint with a clearcoat?

Yes, once dry you can apply compatible clearcoats to protect the finish. Choose gloss, satin or matt clear depending on the final look you want.
