Tamiya X-21 Flat Base Gloss Acrylic Paint 10ml

Tamiya X paints are acrylic paints that offer a glossy finish. They are water-soluble, easy to use, and suitable for most model plastics. They can be applied by brush or spray, and have a wide range of colours. Furthermore, they can be washed in plain water to prevent curing. Tamiya paints are ideal for hobbyists and modellers who want quality and versatility.

When airbrushing, make sure to use one of the following Tamiya thinners:

• X-20A Acrylic Paint Thinner 10ml
• X-20A Acrylic Paint Thinner 23ml
• X-20A Acrylic Paint Thinner 46ml
• X-20A Acrylic Paint Thinner 250ml

Tamiya acrylic paints are made from water-soluble acrylic resins and are excellent for either brush painting or air-brushing. These paints can be used on styrene resins, Styrofoam, wood, plus all of the common model plastics. The paint covers well, flows smoothly, and can be blended easily. Prior to curing, paint can be washed away with plain water.

When airbrushing make sure to use any of the following Tamiya thinners: 81020, 81030, 81040, 81520, 87077.

X designated colors have a glossy finish while XF designated colors are flat finish.
The paint can be thinned for airbrushing using Tamiya X-20A Acrylic thinner.
The paint can be also thinned for airbrushing using Tamiya Lacquer Thinner. Using Tamiya Lacquer Thinner will yield faster drying results and a harder finish.
For better paint brushing results use Tamiya Paint Retarder (87114) for a smoother brushstroke free finish.
