Reliable metallic lacquer for plastic models

Designed for model paintwork, the Tamiya 85053 TS-53 Deep Metallic Blue is a 100ml synthetic acrylic lacquer spray that gives a crisp metallic appearance and quick drying for efficient workflow on model assemblies like 1/24 scale car bodies.

Paint compatibility and layering notes

This TS-53 lacquer is suitable for use on typical plastic model materials and may be applied over fully cured acrylic or enamel base coats. Layering is straightforward when earlier coats are completely dry.

Practical spraying guidance

Ensure parts are clean and free from dust before spraying. Keep the can roughly 30cm away and apply several thin, even coats to prevent drips. Allow adequate drying time between coats to secure a lasting metallic finish.

Is thinning the spray recommended for finer coats?

Thinning aerosol lacquer is not practical; instead use light, even passes from the can. If a thinner look is needed, practise controlled sprays or use a compatible lacquer base coat before this finish.

How many 1/24 shells will one can typically cover?

One 100ml can will generally cover two to three 1/24 scale plastic car bodies with conservative, overlapping coats, depending on technique and surface porosity.

Any ventilation or safety tips when spraying?

Use good ventilation and a suitable respirator when spray painting. Avoid open flames and follow standard aerosol safety practices to protect health and ensure safe use.

Should I prime before using TS-53?

Priming helps achieve a uniform base, especially on bare or repaired plastic. A compatible plastic primer will improve adhesion and the final metallic result.
