Neutral Base Coating with Tamiya 81312 - XF-12 J.N. Grey Acrylic Paint 23ml

Tamiya 81312 - XF-12 J.N. Grey is designed for modellers who want a dependable neutral grey in a compact 23ml bottle. The water-soluble formula works well for brushing or atomised spraying and bonds to styrol resins, Styrofoam, wood, and standard modelling plastics.

What to Expect from This Acrylic

The XF-12 J.N. Grey provides steady coverage and a fine matt finish with minimal brush marks. Its consistency makes it straightforward to layer for shading and weathering without visible streaks.

Best Practice for Application

Wipe parts with a lint-free cloth to remove oils before painting.
Stir the paint to recombine settled pigment prior to use.
Apply a primer to smooth, non-porous items to improve longevity.
When airbrushing, thin gradually to reach the desired spray pattern and control.

Can I apply XF-12 over primer?

Yes. XF-12 bonds well to most primers used in modelling. Use thin coats to avoid obscuring fine detail and allow adequate drying between layers.

Will XF-12 affect glued joints?

Applied over fully cured adhesives it should not cause issues. Avoid painting right at fresh glue joints; let glue set completely before coating.

Do I need a varnish after painting?

A clear coat can protect the finish and help unify sheen across parts. Choose a matt, satin, or gloss varnish according to the look you want for weathering and handling durability.
