For hobbyists aiming to enhance surface definition, Tamiya 87189 Panel Line Accent Color in Light Gray offers a pre-thinned enamel option. Its consistency is ready for direct use and the fine brush in the lid allows you to feed the paint into gaps and panel lines. The 40ml bottle supplies enough product for ongoing detailing work.
Light Gray works well on light-coloured parts where black would be too dominant. Trace the lines and let capillary action draw the paint into crevices to bring out model features. After the paint sets, clean any excess with enamel thinner for a crisp result.
These accent paints can harden some plastics, so avoid use on hinges or moving parts. Best results are achieved when applied over lacquer or acrylic base coats; always trial the paint on a scrap panel before tackling the main model. Be aware that matte base coats can absorb the accent paint more readily.
