About the XF-28 Dark Copper from Tamiya

The Tamiya XF-28 Dark Copper is an acrylic paint based on water-soluble resins, crafted for hobby use on models and miniatures. Its 23ml size is handy for touch ups and complete small builds, and it works well with both brushes and airbrushes.

Surfaces It Works Well On

This paint bonds effectively to styrol resins, Styrofoam, wood and most standard modelling plastics. Expect even coverage, smooth flow and easy blending to achieve natural metallic highlights and shading.

Is XF-28 suitable for flexible plastics?

Flexible plastics and polycarbonate need paints made for those materials. XF-28 is best for rigid model plastics and surfaces where a harder finish is acceptable.

Should I prime before painting?

Priming improves adhesion and evens out porous surfaces. Use a compatible primer for plastics or wood, then apply XF-28 in thin, even coats.

Can I mix XF-28 with other acrylics?

You can blend it with other water-based acrylics, but test mixes first to confirm colour and drying behaviour. Keep records of ratios to reproduce tones consistently.

Any tips for achieving metallic sheen?

Build the metallic effect with multiple thin layers and light, controlled strokes. Finish with a clear coat if you need extra protection and depth.
