Metallic Acrylic for Model Builders

The Tamiya 81012 Acrylic X-12 Gold Leaf paint in a 23ml bottle gives modellers an accessible gold finish. Its water-soluble acrylic resin formulation is compatible with styrol resins, Styrofoam, wood and many model plastics, applying cleanly by brush or airbrush.

Why Model Makers Use This Paint

It provides dependable coverage and a smooth flow, allowing for blending, shading and layered effects on scale models, figures and display pieces.

What prep is needed before painting plastic parts?

Clean parts to remove oils and flash, lightly sand smooth surfaces if necessary, and use a primer for best adhesion when working with metallic paints like this gold.

Can I layer this paint for depth?

Yes, thin coats applied in layers build depth and allow controlled blending while keeping the metallic character intact.

Should I varnish painted parts for protection?

Applying a compatible clear varnish after full cure helps protect the finish and reduces wear on display or handled models.

How long before handling after painting?

Allow thin coats to dry for at least 15 to 30 minutes before light handling, and give heavier layers or clearcoats additional time to cure for best results.
