Reliable White Paint for Model Builders

The Tamiya 81002 Acrylic X-2 White paint comes in a compact 23ml bottle and is a solid pick for builders needing a clean white coat. It lays down evenly on styrol resins, Styrofoam, timber and most modelling plastics, helping you achieve consistent results.

Suitable for Brushwork and Airbrushing

Formulated with a water-soluble acrylic resin, this paint handles well with a brush and can be thinned for airbrushing. It flows smoothly for layering and blending across small parts and larger panels alike.

Practical Benefits for the Workshop

Consistency: Smooth coverage that helps reduce visible brush marks.
Compatibility: Effective on foam, wood and common model plastics.
Ease of Use: Water thinning makes it straightforward to prepare for an airbrush or to apply by hand.

Is this suitable over printed decals?

You can paint around decals but avoid heavy coats directly over thin printed decals without a protective clear layer or sealant to prevent bleeding.

Will it stick to foam without melting it?

Yes, the water-based formula is safe for Styrofoam and similar foams when applied gently; do a small test if the foam is solvent-sensitive.

How long before I can handle painted parts?

Drying times depend on coat thickness and environment. Thin coats feel dry faster; allow extra cure time before heavy handling or assembly.
