Small-Profile X-11 Chrome Silver from Tamiya

This 10ml Tamiya X-11 Chrome Silver acrylic provides a fine metallic sheen tailored for scale models and hobby projects. The water-soluble acrylic resins allow convenient brushwork and smooth airbrushing on styrol resins, Styrofoam, wood, and most common model plastics.

Guidance on Application and Thinning

For best results, apply in light successive coats to build an even metallic layer. When using an airbrush, employ Tamiya thinners such as 81020, 81030, 81040, 81520, or 87077 to reach the right spray viscosity and a consistent finish.

Will this paint bond to resin kits?

It bonds to many resin materials, but it is wise to test on a small area and consider a primer for long term adhesion on non standard plastics.

How do I avoid streaks when brush painting?

Use thin coats, a quality synthetic brush, and light brushing strokes, allowing each layer to dry before adding the next to prevent visible brush marks.

Is this suitable for display models that need a chrome look?

Yes, it offers a metallic appearance for display models, but final sheen may benefit from controlled thinning and a protective clearcoat to enhance reflectivity.

Can I use this paint for fine detailing?

Fine details are achievable by thinning slightly for a smoother flow or using a very small brush to avoid heavy buildup on small features.
