Overview of Tamiya XF-16 80316 Flat Aluminium

The 10ml Tamiya XF-16 Flat Aluminium Enamel is a compact paint option for modellers wanting a subdued metallic finish. It is suitable for use on plastic and wood surfaces commonly found in scale modelling.

Thinning for Spray and Brush

When airbrushing, start with a mix of 2 parts thinner to 10 parts paint for steady atomisation. For hand brushing, use sparing coats to keep the flat metallic texture even.

Cup Size and Metallic Tone

Each bottle contains 10ml, which is ideal for detailing and small projects. The flat aluminium tone gives a lifelike metallic effect without a high gloss shine.

Is XF-16 suitable for wooden model parts?

Yes, it can be used on wood as well as plastic. Light sanding and a sealing coat or primer will give a more even finish on porous surfaces.

Can I brush this enamel directly from the bottle?

You can brush it for small details, but use thin, even layers to avoid brush marks. For broad coverage, thin and spray for the best result.

What solvent cleans enamel brushes?

Use an enamel-compatible solvent or paint thinner to clean brushes and equipment. Follow safety guidance and ventilate the workspace.

How should I store unopened bottles?

Keep bottles upright, sealed and stored away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight to preserve the enamel quality.
