Product Brief for Light Gun Metal Lacquer

Tamiya 82120 LP-20 Light Gun Metal lacquer comes in a compact 10ml bottle and is aimed at modellers wanting a believable metal finish. It is versatile enough for airbrush work or hand brushing small areas.

Durable Finish with Quick Turnaround

The lacquer creates a resilient surface layer that stands up well as a basecoat beneath other paints. Fast drying characteristics help you move between coats without long waits.

Colour Matching Across Paint Types

This lacquer may present slightly different hues compared with acrylics or sprays, but it delivers dependable colour depth and is useful when you need consistent metallic tones.

Best Practices for Thinning and Use

Use a lacquer-specific thinner to tune flow and atomisation when airbrushing. Thinning also helps avoid brush marks and produces a smoother finish on curved surfaces.

Will Tamiya 82120 LP-20 work on resin and 3D printed parts?

Yes, it bonds to properly prepared resin and printed parts, but you should sand and prime those surfaces first for best adhesion and an even tone.

Can I mix this lacquer with acrylic paints?

Avoid mixing lacquer and waterbased acrylics directly. If you need to layer, allow full drying and use compatible primers or sealers between systems.

How do I avoid orange peel when spraying?

Thin correctly for your airbrush, keep passes light, and maintain proper distance. Practise on a spare sprue to perfect your technique.

What thinner should I use with this lacquer?

Use a lacquer-compatible thinner from Tamiya or another reputable brand to preserve drying times and finish quality.
