Tamiya XF-28 Dark Copper Overview

Tamiya XF-28 Dark Copper is an acrylic paint based on water-soluble resins, aimed at model builders and figure painters. Supplied in a 23ml bottle, it is suitable for both hand brushing and airbrushing, giving a controlled metallic appearance.

Recommended Substrates

The formula works on styrol resins, Styrofoam, wood and most common modelling plastics. It provides reliable coverage, smooth application and is easy to blend for realistic metallic effects.

Will XF-28 stick to bare plastic without primer?

On some plastics you may get acceptable adhesion, but priming gives a more uniform base and better long-term adhesion, especially on smooth or porous surfaces.

Is brushing or airbrushing preferred for this paint?

Both methods work. Brushing is fine for detail work and small areas, while airbrushing gives the smoothest metallic finish when the paint is properly thinned and applied in light coats.

Any maintenance tips after painting?

Allow paint to cure fully before handling. If you need extra protection, seal with a compatible clear coat after testing compatibility on a scrap piece first.

How do I reproduce the same colour later?

Note the batch and store the bottle upright. For larger jobs, mix a larger batch in a separate container and record the proportions to ensure colour consistency across sessions.
