Small Bottle, Strong Colour: Tamiya 80016 Enamel X-16 Purple

The Tamiya 80016 Enamel X-16 Purple is supplied in a 10ml bottle and gives a rich purple finish for modelling projects. It suits both wooden and plastic parts and is versatile enough for brush work or spray use once thinned.

Recommended Thinning for Even Coats

When using this enamel for spraying, thin with an enamel thinner at about 2 parts thinner to 10 parts paint to improve flow and reduce brush strokes. Light, repeated passes deliver a more uniform surface than heavy single coats.

General Uses and Compatibility Notes

This paint is useful across a broad range of hobby tasks, not only RC modelling, and pairs well with primers and compatible topcoats when applied correctly.

Will this paint chip on handling

Like most enamels, proper surface prep and full curing reduce chipping. Use primer and apply thin coats, then finish with a compatible clear coat for extra protection.

Can I use it with an airbrush

Yes, after thinning to the suggested ratio this enamel can be used in an airbrush. Check nozzle size and adjust thinning to suit your equipment for steady atomisation.

Is ventilation important when using this paint

Work in a well ventilated area and use appropriate respiratory protection when spraying to avoid inhaling solvent fumes.

How should leftover paint be disposed of

Dispose of unused enamel and thinners according to local hazardous waste guidance. Do not pour solvents down drains and recycle containers where facilities exist.

Can I layer this over acrylics

Applying enamel over cured acrylics is possible, but test compatibility first and ensure the acrylic is fully dry. Spot testing avoids unwanted reactions between paint types.
