What Tamiya 80363 XF-63 Offers

This 10ml bottle of Tamiya XF-63 German Grey is a compact enamel option for model builders working on miniatures and kit details. It behaves well on wood and ordinary plastic components for precision painting tasks.

Thinning and Best Practices

Use a thinner at about 2 to 10 parts paint to achieve a consistent flow for brushing or airbrushing. Apply multiple thin layers rather than a single heavy coat to avoid runs and uneven drying.

Can I use XF-63 straight onto plastic without primer?

Some plastics may accept enamel without primer, but priming or light scuffing improves adhesion and colour uniformity, especially on smoother surfaces.

Which thinner should I use with this enamel?

Use a compatible enamel thinner recommended by your paint supplier. Follow the 2 parts thinner to 10 parts paint guideline and adjust slightly for brush or spray methods.

Is XF-63 suitable for weathering and washes?

Yes. Enamel paints like XF-63 can be used for washes and subtle weathering when heavily thinned; practise on scrap to get the desired effect.

How long should I wait between coats?

Dry times depend on temperature and ventilation, but allow at least 24 hours for touch handling and longer for full cure before handling or overcoating.
