Fine Lacquer for Scale Model Detail

The Tamiya 82170 LP-70 Gloss Aluminum arrives in a 10ml bottle and provides a precise light aluminium shade for scale modelling. It is ideal for painting car exteriors, chrome trims and small fittings on kits.

Consistent Finish and Basecoat Strength

Tamiya lacquers are prized for an even glossy finish and solid durability. LP-70 applies smoothly whether airbrushed or brushed, and the paint develops a robust membrane that makes it suitable as a base layer beneath enamel finishes.

Short Dry Time to Speed Builds

The lacquer's relatively quick drying helps when working through multiple stages of a build, enabling quicker turnaround for layered colours and masked patterns.

Is this lacquer compatible with acrylic paints?

You can use acrylics in the same project but expect differences in finish and adhesion; perform a test area to check colour match and bond before committing.

How do I avoid orange peel when spraying?

Thin appropriately for your airbrush, keep the nozzle moving and apply thin passes to reduce texture; practise on scrap to fine tune pressure and distance.

Any maintenance advice for stored paint?

Store upright in a cool place, seal the cap tightly after use and label the bottle with date opened to monitor shelf life.
