Give Your Mini 4WD a Pro Finish

Appearance is part of the hobby as much as speed - neat paintwork and decals make your car stand out. The Tamiya 63490 Mini 4WD Decoration Guide, published in Japanese and sized A5, contains concise techniques to help you achieve cleaner, longer lasting finishes.

Step-by-Step Paint Advice

Detailed sections explain how to tackle different substrates you will meet on Mini 4WD kits, including plastic, polycarbonate, carbon-reinforced plastic and metal-plated parts. The guide covers spray, airbrush and brush application with tips on prep, masking and curing.

Real-World Build Examples

Selected images from an online contest highlight standout decorated cars, offering practical layout ideas and colour choices you can adapt for your own models.

Cartoon Livery Walkthroughs

Instructions are provided to help fans recreate well known Japanese Mini 4WD cartoon liveries, demonstrating paint order and decal placement for faithful reproductions.

Special Hologram Sticker Bonus

The booklet includes exclusive Abilista hologram stickers (Item 18639), a unique addition to personalise your Mini 4WD.

Even without fluent Japanese, many step photos and diagrams make the processes clear; novices may still follow the visual instructions and examples.
The guide discusses solvent-based spray, lacquer-type finishes for metal-plated parts and polycarbonate-friendly paints, with notes on ventilation and drying times.
Many of the masking and layering techniques translate well to other model kits, though material specifics should be checked for best results.
