Compact Mica Blue Lacquer for Detail Work

Tamiya 82141 Mica Blue Lacquer Paint produces a deep metallic blue finish ideal for accenting model parts. Supplied in a 10ml bottle, this lacquer from Tamiya is built for general hobby tasks and supports both airbrushing and careful brushwork.

Why the 82141 Mica Blue Stands Out

The lacquer version of Mica Blue is valued for its durability and quick cure times, making it a reliable base for multi-layer projects. Its coating resists enamel overcoats, allowing you to apply successive layers without loss of depth. Keep in mind color shifts can occur compared to Tamiya acrylics and aerosols.

Practical Application Advice

  • Airbrush larger areas in light passes to avoid pooling and to build the mica effect gradually.
  • Brush fine details with thinned lacquer for controlled strokes and minimal brush texture.
  • Use a recommended lacquer thinner and practice spray distance to fine tune finish.

Can I use Tamiya 82141 on injection plastic parts?

Yes. The lacquer adheres well to clean injection-moulded plastics like ABS and polystyrene when surfaces are prepped and primed correctly.

What drying time should I expect?

Drying is relatively fast for lacquer paint, though full hardness can take longer. Ambient temperature and coat thickness affect cure time, so allow ample flash time between layers.

Is it safe to clearcoat over this lacquer?

Yes, you can apply compatible clears over the lacquer after it has fully cured. Test on a sample first to confirm adhesion and finish compatibility.

Does the mica effect require specific lighting to show?

The mica highlights become more noticeable under direct or angled light. Layering thin coats enhances the metallic depth without masking surface detail.
