Control Your Spray with X-20A Thinner

Tamiya X-20A is supplied in a 46ml bottle and is made to bring Tamiya acrylic paints to a workable consistency. It helps minimise spluttering and uneven coverage when airbrushing, and can be used for subtle brush blending on small parts.

Why Choose This Thinner

Maintaining consistent flow is essential for crisp paintwork on scale models and props. X-20A improves leveling and reduces the chance of visible brush strokes or pooling across flat and curved surfaces.

Usage Hints

Mix a small test batch and spray on scrap to dial in the right ratio for your setup rather than guessing.
Use it sparingly to rinse brushes right after painting to keep bristles soft and free of hardened paint.

Is X-20A suitable for fine detail brushwork?

Yes, when used sparingly it can thin small batches of paint for smoother brush application, helping reduce visible brush lines on tiny components.

Will this thinner affect paint colour or opacity?

Thinning will make paint more translucent at higher ratios, so plan for additional coats if you need full opacity; always test on a sample piece first.

Any tips for keeping my airbrush clog free?

Use the right mix for your nozzle size, keep pressure steady, and perform regular quick flushes with thinner during long painting sessions to prevent buildup.
