Achieve Matte Metal Effects with Tamiya 82138 LP-38

Tamiya LP-38 Flat Aluminum Lacquer delivers a subdued silver tone that suits kits, diorama hardware and vehicle accents. It handles broad coverage with an airbrush and can be controlled for fine brushwork when thinned correctly.

Durable Lacquer Coating for Model Builds

The lacquer produces a resilient coating that acts well as a base under many enamel topcoats. Its relatively quick cure time keeps build schedules moving and reduces downtime between coats.

Notes on Use and Colour Matching

Available in a 10ml bottle, LP-38 is formulated for general modelling. Expect slight colour differences compared with Tamiya acrylic paints and aerosols of the same name. Using the appropriate lacquer thinner will help achieve a smooth, even application for both newcomers and experienced hobbyists.

You can, but prepping the surface by cleaning and lightly sanding will improve adhesion and reduce the risk of fish eyes or poor coverage.
A gloss clear will change the finish to shiny, while a matte clear can preserve the subdued aluminium appearance. Choose the clear coat to match the desired final sheen.
Each bottle contains 10ml of lacquer, suitable for touch ups and small to medium sized modelling tasks; larger panels may require several bottles or an aerosol option.
