About XF-63 German Grey

Tamiya's XF-63 German Grey comes in a compact 10ml bottle and is built from water-soluble acrylic resins for versatile hobby use. It bonds well to styrol resins, Styrofoam, wood and typical model plastics. The formula provides smooth flow and even coverage whether you brush it on or apply with an airbrush.

Airbrush Recommendations

For best spray results, thin the paint with Tamiya thinners such as 81020, 81030, 81040, 81520 or 87077 to match your airbrush settings. This paint layers predictably and responds well to glazing and subtle shading techniques.

Preparation and Usage Notes

Clean and prime parts before painting to improve adhesion and finish quality. Fine-tune the thinner ratio to control droplet size and surface texture. Avoid using this acrylic directly on bare metal unless you apply an appropriate metal primer first.

Is this paint suitable for foam scenery?

Yes, XF-63 is safe for many foam types including Styrofoam, but test on a scrap to confirm there is no reaction with your specific foam product.

How do I avoid brush strokes?

Use thin, even coats and allow each layer to dry before applying the next. For the smoothest results, consider airbrushing or use a high-quality synthetic brush with light strokes.

Can XF-63 be used outdoors on models?

This acrylic is intended for models and indoor display items. If your model will see outdoor exposure, seal with a suitable outdoor-grade topcoat to protect the finish.

What nozzle size is ideal for airbrushing XF-63?

A 0.3 to 0.5 mm nozzle is commonly used for hobby paints; adjust thinner ratio for smaller or larger nozzles to maintain a smooth atomisation.
