Showcase Metallic Detail with a Sparkling Silver

Tamiya LP-48 Sparkling Silver is a lacquer paint aimed at modellers who want a bright silver effect. The 10ml bottle supplies a more pronounced sparkle than LP-11, suitable for chrome-like accents or full airbrushed panels. It cures to a durable finish that is commonly used as a basecoat beneath enamel paints.

Performance You Can Count On

Tamiya lacquers are respected for consistent pigmentation and dependable application. LP-48 delivers solid metallic coverage and a resilient membrane that maintains the model's look during handling and display.

Best Practice for Application

Thin LP-48 with a dedicated lacquer thinner to achieve the correct spray viscosity and avoid runs. As lacquer shades can differ from Tamiya acrylics or sprays, perform a quick test patch to verify tone and finish before proceeding.

Typically you should thin it. Straight from the bottle is usually too viscous for smooth airbrush atomisation; use lacquer thinner to tune the consistency.
A clear topcoat can protect the metallic finish and even the sheen. Choose a compatible lacquer clear if you need extra durability or a different gloss level.
Higher humidity can slow lacquer drying and affect finish quality. Work in a well-ventilated, moderate environment for best results and longer flash times if conditions are damp.
Yes. Its bright sparkle makes LP-48 a strong choice for small chrome trims, badges and scale fittings when applied with care.
