High Coverage Gun Metal Acrylic for Models

Tamiya's 81510 Mini Acrylic X-10 Gun Metal comes in a 10ml bottle tailored for modelmakers seeking a neutral gun metal shade. The water-soluble acrylic formula works well on styrol resins, Styrofoam, wood and most model plastics, providing smooth application by brush or airbrush.

Great for Blending and Scale Weathering

The Tamiya Mini Acrylic X-10 Gun Metal mixes readily for scale weathering and nuanced shading. For airbrush use, thin with recommended Tamiya thinners such as 81020, 81030, 81040, 81520 or 87077 and trial on spare material to perfect spray settings.

Product Questions

Is this paint suitable for model car bodies?

It works well on plastic model car parts made from styrene or similar materials; prepare the surface and consider a primer for best results on glossy kit parts.

Can I use it with other brands of acrylics?

You can often mix with other water-soluble acrylics but test compatibility and colour on a scrap piece first to ensure even drying and adhesion.

Any advice for doing fine metallic highlights?

Use very thin mixes and fine-tipped brushes or a finely tuned airbrush. Build highlights gradually and blend edges while the paint remains workable for subtle metallic effects.
