Product Brief: Tamiya 80013 Enamel X-13 Metallic Blue

The Tamiya 80013 Enamel X-13 Metallic Blue is aimed at model makers seeking a subtle metallic look for small parts and scale subjects. It bonds well to wood and plastic surfaces and cures to a resilient sheen, packaged in a convenient 10ml bottle for controlled application.

Preparation and Thinning

For best performance, blend 2 parts enamel thinner with 10 parts paint before applying. This ratio helps avoid brush marks and produces a steady spray pattern when using an airbrush or spray gun.

Will this paint flake on flexible parts?

On flexible plastics, adhesion may be reduced; test on a scrap piece first and consider using a flexible primer to improve durability.

Can I layer this over acrylic base coats?

Yes, but ensure the acrylic is fully cured and clean the surface. A light sanding or primer will help the enamel bond without lifting the base coat.

How long before it is safe to handle painted parts?

Touch-dry times vary with temperature and thickness; expect initial drying in a few hours and full hardness over several days. Keep parts dust free while curing.
