All-Round Gold Enamel for Hobby Builds

Tamiya 80012 Enamel X-12 Gold supplies a rich gold shade in a handy 10ml bottle, ideal for model makers and small craft projects. It levels well on plastics and sealed wood to produce a consistent metallic look.

Mixing Ratios and Application

This enamel works for both brush and sprayed finishes. For spraying we recommend starting with a mix of two parts thinner to ten parts paint to keep the flow smooth and avoid blotching.

Projects Suited to This Colour

Use the X-12 gold for trims, interior details and exterior accents on kits and dioramas. The enamel's pigment and finish are suited to both fine detail work and broader surface coverage.

Is the colour suitable for scale armour and vehicle kits?

Yes, the gold tone from Tamiya 80012 works well for detailing on vehicles and armour models when applied over a suitable primer.

Can I apply a clear coat over enamel?

A compatible clear enamel or lacquer can be applied once the paint has fully cured; always test on a scrap piece first to confirm compatibility.

Will this paint hide undercoats well?

The pigment packs good coverage for small areas, but multiple thin coats are preferable to one heavy coat to keep surface detail crisp.

Any tips for masking with enamel?

Use low-tack masking tape and ensure the first coat is fully dry before removing masks to prevent lifting the enamel layer.
