Tamiya 82132 Light Gray - Practical Uses

Presented in a 10ml bottle, Tamiya 82132 Light Gray lacquer paint is a reliable option for hobbyists seeking consistent coverage whether airbrushing broad panels or painting small details by hand. This pale gray works well on IJN kits and pairs with darker tones like LP-31 Dark Green 2 (IJN).

Performance Highlights

Tamiya Color Lacquers are known for creating a durable film that can act as a stable base under enamel finishes. They dry relatively quickly to keep build momentum, and a purpose made thinner is available to tune application characteristics.

Practical Tips for Application

  • Use an airbrush for even coats on wings and fuselage sections.
  • Employ a fine tipped brush to pick out cockpit and instrument details.
  • Thin with the recommended lacquer thinner and do a short trial spray to adjust flow.

Colour Comparison Advice

Lacquer shades can show slight differences from the equivalent Tamiya acrylic or spray colours. Test patches are recommended to verify the final tone before completing a model.

Surface drying is fast, but full cure will depend on temperature, humidity and coat thickness. Allow extra drying time for thicker layers to avoid marking.
It is possible to apply lacquer over acrylics, but perform a small compatibility test first to ensure no adverse reaction occurs between layers.
Use good ventilation, a suitable respirator when spraying, and follow standard safety measures for solvent based paints to minimise exposure.
