Get a Smooth Metallic Red Coat

Tamiya TS-18 Metallic Red is a quick-drying acrylic lacquer that lays down a smooth metallic layer for plastic model bodies. One 100ml can will normally cover two to three 1/24 scale car shells, depending on how heavily you spray.

Recommended Substrates and Overpainting

The product is made for use on plastic models and can be applied over fully cured acrylic or enamel paints. To preserve the metallic effect, spray thin, controlled coats and allow full drying between applications.

How should I prepare a body before spraying TS-18?

Clean the model of dust and grease, apply a light primer if needed, and smooth any seams so the metallic coat goes on evenly.

Can TS-18 be overcoated with clear lacquer?

Yes, after the metallic layer has fully cured you can apply a compatible clear lacquer to protect the finish and add gloss. Test on a spare part first.

Any tips for consistent metallic coverage?

Keep the spray can moving, use multiple thin passes from a steady distance, and avoid sitting too long in one spot to reduce runs and uneven texture.
