Refine Scale Detail with Tamiya 82168 Clear Blue Lacquer

Tamiya 82168 Clear Blue offers a clear blue tint that enhances gloss and depth on model surfaces. The 10ml bottle is convenient for small projects and careful layering to achieve realistic effects.

Performance Traits of Tamiya Lacquers

The lacquer dries to a hard, resilient film that helps prevent chips and wear from handling. It serves well as a tinted clear coat and as a robust base for some enamel layers when properly cured.

Best Practice Painting Tips

Airbrushing: Thin appropriately and apply several light passes to build up the translucent blue without causing sagging.
Fine Detail: Use a steady hand and thin mixes for touch-ups and small transparent parts.
Layering: Because the hue can differ from acrylics, trial-test combinations on a scrap before committing to a full model.

Can I use Tamiya 82168 on pre-painted parts?

You can apply the lacquer over well-adhered paint layers, but scuff and clean the surface first to improve bonding and reduce the chance of lifting.

What is the recommended nozzle size for airbrushing this lacquer?

A 0.3 to 0.5 mm nozzle works well for general use; adjust thinning to match your nozzle and maintain even atomisation.

Are there common issues to watch for when using this lacquer?

Watch for over-thinning or heavy coats which can cause runs or a cloudy finish; apply multiple thin layers and allow proper flash-off between coats.

Does this lacquer need a primer?

Primer improves adhesion on smooth plastics and metal; use a compatible primer and ensure it is fully dry before applying the lacquer.
