Everyday Miniature Paint

The 10ml Tamiya XF-12 J.N. Grey mini acrylic is aimed at modellers who need a compact bottle of neutral grey for trims, interiors and figure work. Its water based acrylic resin gives smooth application for both brush and spray techniques.

Adhesion and Finishing

Suitable for styrol resins, Styrofoam, wood and common modelling plastics, this grey paints on evenly and can be layered for shading and weathering. It responds well to light sanding and primer preparation for a neat finish.

Thinner Options and Usage

For a fine mist when airbrushing, thin XF-12 J.N. Grey with one of the Tamiya thinner range like 81020, 81030, 81040, 81520 or 87077. Trial on a scrap piece will help you find the ideal thinning level for your gun.

Can I use this paint straight from the bottle for brushwork?

Yes, you can brush thin coats directly from the bottle for detail work. Apply multiple light layers rather than a single heavy coat to avoid brush marks.

What prep should I do on plastic parts?

Clean parts with mild detergent to remove mould release, then prime if needed. A light scuff with fine grit helps adhesion on smooth plastics.

How do I store leftover paint?

Keep the bottle tightly sealed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Shake well before use and avoid freezing temperatures.

Is a gloss or matt clear coat recommended?

Choose a clear coat to match the desired finish. Use acrylic-compatible clears after full cure to protect the paint and unify the sheen.
