Mica Silver Lacquer for Detailed Models

The Tamiya 82172 Mica Silver lacquer offers a delicate silver finish with a light blue cast, suited to fine detailing and panel work. Supplied in a 10ml bottle, it belongs to Tamiya's lacquer range known for neat coverage and a clean metallic sheen.

Recommended Application Practices

Apply by airbrush for smooth, uniform coats and switch to a fine brush for narrow areas and highlights. The paint forms a durable membrane and can be used with care alongside enamel products. Its rapid drying profile helps maintain a tidy workflow.

Where to Use It and Wear Resistance

Designed for scale kits, small parts and display figures, the finish is robust enough for normal handling and typical display conditions. Good surface prep and primer will maximise performance and longevity.

Is Tamiya 82172 safe to use over existing lacquer coats?

It can be applied over cured lacquer layers, but ensure the previous coat is fully dry and scuff-sand if needed to promote adhesion.

Will this lacquer alter fine details on my model?

When applied in thin, controlled coats it preserves fine detail. Avoid heavy application which can obscure small features.

Any tips for achieving even metallic coverage?

Build up the metallic effect with multiple light layers, keep the spray pattern consistent and allow proper drying between passes for an even result.
