High Sheen Mica Blue for Model Builders

Tamiya 82141 Mica Blue Lacquer Paint provides a vivid metallic blue finish suited to scale models and display pieces. This 10ml lacquer from Tamiya is intended for general hobby use and supports both airbrush and brush techniques for consistent coverage.

Performance Notes on the Mica Blue

The lacquer is valued for its robust finish and relatively fast drying, making it useful as a basecoat for layered paintwork. The film shows good resistance to enamel overcoats so you can layer colours confidently. Keep in mind the shade can differ somewhat from Tamiya acrylics and aerosol sprays of the same name.

How to Apply for Best Results

  • Airbrush larger surfaces with thin passes to build a smooth metallic layer.
  • Use a fine brush with thinned lacquer for crisp edges and small features.
  • Choose a compatible lacquer thinner and observe safety precautions when spraying indoors.
Yes, after the lacquer has fully cured you can apply compatible clearcoats. Always test on a sample to confirm finish compatibility before full application.
Clean the surface, remove oils, and apply an appropriate primer. Good prep prevents lifting and improves the final sheen of the Tamiya 82141 lacquer.
For small repairs, brush-applied thinned lacquer can blend well if matched carefully and feathered into surrounding paint.
Yes, mica pigments show more dimensionality under directional light. Position models under angled lighting to highlight the metallic particles.
