Light Gun Metal Lacquer Overview for Kit Builders

Tamiya 82120 LP-20 Light Gun Metal lacquer in a 10ml bottle gives modellers a compact option for producing realistic metal surfaces. It handles fine detail brushing as well as broader airbrushing work.

Robust Lacquer Properties

The lacquer forms a durable membrane that provides an excellent base for further coatings and stands up to handling. Quick drying reduces dust attraction during builds.

Consistent Tone for Layering

Although lacquer shades can differ slightly from related acrylics or aerosols, they provide dependable tonal stability and strong metallic effect when layered correctly.

Tips for Best Results

Adjust viscosity with a lacquer-specific thinner and apply in thin layers. Proper surface prep and test sprays will help you achieve a smooth, even metal finish.

Lacquer can be applied over well-cured enamels, but perform a small compatibility test. Using a suitable primer between systems can reduce risk.
Good extraction or an open workspace plus a suitable respirator are recommended. Lacquer fumes are stronger than waterbased paints, so take precautions.
Build thin, even coats and polish gently after full cure. Use appropriate clearcoats and polishing compounds compatible with lacquer systems for a high gloss result.
