Tamiya 80027 Enamel X-27 Clear Red Paint Overview

The Tamiya 80027 - Enamel X-27 Clear Red is a 10ml enamel designed for detailed hobby applications, delivering a clear red tint that enhances contrast and shine. It works well on painted plastics, wooden miniatures, and other modelling surfaces when used appropriately.

Preparation and Spray Technique

For spray finishing, thin the enamel at a ratio of 2 parts thinner to 10 parts paint to obtain a fine mist and uniform coat. Build colour gradually with several thin layers to avoid runs and preserve fine detail.

Detailing and Limitations

This enamel is not a specialised paint for full RC body coverage but is excellent for lenses, badges and small-scale detailing. Its translucent nature lets you create layered colour effects and depth on model projects.

Yes, brush application is possible for small details. Thin slightly for smoother strokes and use a fine sable or synthetic brush to reduce visible brush marks.
Drying times vary with temperature and coat thickness; touch dry can be within hours but allow longer curing time before handling or overcoating for best results.
Use the enamel thinners recommended for Tamiya enamel paints for consistent performance. Match thinner type to the painting method for optimal flow and finish.
Once fully cured, the enamel provides a stable surface for decals. Ensure the paint is smooth and dry before applying transfers to avoid silvering or adhesion problems.
