Coverage and Finish Details

The Tamiya TS-46 Light Sand spray is a synthetic acrylic lacquer formulated for modellers seeking a steady, low-texture finish. A 100ml can commonly covers two to three 1/24 scale plastic model car bodies when applied with even, controlled passes.

Paint Compatibility and Drying

Members of the TS range are generally compatible with cured hobby paints, and this Light Sand can be applied over dry acrylic or enamel coats without causing adverse reactions. The formula dries sufficiently fast to keep projects moving while allowing time for proper coats.

Recommended Uses and Limits

TS-46 performs well on plastic kits, display models, and figures, delivering a durable sand shade. It is not formulated for polycarbonate RC shells, so select polycarbonate-safe paints for RC bodywork to avoid adhesion or flexibility issues.

Will TS-46 stick to resin models?

Yes, TS-46 adheres well to properly prepared resin. Clean the part, remove release agents, and use a primer if the surface is porous for best results.

Can I apply a clear coat over TS-46?

You can apply a compatible clear lacquer over TS-46 once it is fully dry. Test on a scrap piece first to confirm compatibility and appearance before finishing the main build.

How do I avoid uneven texture or orange peel?

Spray from the correct distance with light, overlapping passes and avoid spraying in very hot or humid conditions. Multiple thin coats reduce the chance of orange peel compared with heavy single coats.

What surface prep works best for plastic kits?

Wash parts to remove mould release and oils, sand any flash or seam lines, and apply a plastic primer for a uniform base before spraying TS-46.
