Introduction to XF-63 German Grey

The Tamiya XF-63 German Grey 10ml mini acrylic is aimed at modellers looking for a reliable neutral grey. Formulated from water-soluble acrylic resins, it adheres to styrol resins, Styrofoam, wooden parts and standard model plastics. It offers smooth application and dependable coverage with either brush or airbrush techniques.

Material Suitability and Thinning

This paint suits general hobby applications and fine detailing. For airbrushing, thin with Tamiya thinners such as 81020, 81030, 81040, 81520 or 87077 to obtain a consistent spray. The paint is useful for layering and subtle weathering when applied correctly.

Preparation and Care

Ensure models are cleaned and primed to improve paint adhesion and finish. Tailor thinner proportions to your airbrush and practice on test pieces to dial in the finish. Avoid using this acrylic directly on metal unless first treated with a suitable primer.

XF-63 has good opacity but very dark bases may require two light coats or a mid-grey primer to achieve an even final shade.
Yes, once fully dry you can seal XF-63 with acrylic or lacquer clear coats. Test compatibility on a scrap to confirm the desired gloss level before sealing your model.
No special primer is required for plastics and wood, but using a quality primer improves adhesion and evens out surface imperfections, especially on difficult plastics or repaired parts.
