Neutral Grey Enamel for Scale Modelling

Tamiya Enamel XF-20 Medium Grey is a solid choice when a mid grey is needed for shading, interiors or base layers. The enamel performs on common modelling surfaces, including plastic and timber elements.

Mixing Ratios and Application Advice

Each bottle of Tamiya Enamel XF-20 contains 10ml of paint, useful for precise work and small kits. For spraying, a starting mix of two parts thinner to ten parts paint helps achieve a controlled spray and consistent finish.

Use Cases for Medium Grey

This Medium Grey is well suited to subtle panel shading, undersides and neutral detail areas. It blends discreetly with other colours and is handy for touch ups during assembly.

Can XF-20 be applied over acrylic primers?

XF-20 can be used over fully cured acrylic primers, though compatibility checks on a scrap piece are recommended to avoid reactions.

What is the best way to achieve a smooth finish?

Thin the paint to the suggested ratio, apply several light coats and keep the spray motion steady. Light sanding between coats can improve smoothness when needed.

Are there any common pitfalls to avoid with enamels?

Avoid overthinning, strong brush strokes when wet and applying heavy coats. Work in a ventilated area and let each coat cure before handling.

How do I store mixed or leftover paint?

Store in a sealed container away from heat and sunlight. Label mixes with date and ratio, and keep small quantities to avoid long-term degradation.
