Compact Chrome Silver Paint by Tamiya

The Tamiya X-11 Chrome Silver in this 10ml size gives a reliable metallic finish for hobby kits and display pieces. Its water-soluble acrylic resins make it suitable for brush application or spraying, and it bonds to styrol resins, Styrofoam, wood, and most common model plastics.

Best Practices for Application

Apply in thin layers for smooth coverage and minimal brush marks. For airbrushing, dilute with recommended Tamiya thinners 81020, 81030, 81040, 81520, or 87077 to achieve a steady flow and even atomisation.

Can I use this on injection moulded plastic kits?

Yes, it is suitable for most common model plastics used in injection moulded kits, provided parts are cleaned and any glossy surfaces are lightly abraded first.

What thinner ratio should I start with for airbrushing?

Start with a light thinning and increase gradually; target a consistency similar to milk for fine atomisation, adjusting according to your airbrush and pressure.

Are there recommended topcoats to protect the finish?

Use compatible clear acrylic topcoats after the paint has cured to protect the metallic finish and to fine tune gloss or matt levels.
