Tamiya 82146 LP-46 Pure Metallic Red Detail Lacquer  [82146]

Using Tamiya LP-46 Pure Metallic Red on Scale Models

The Tamiya 82146 LP-46 Pure Metallic Red lacquer gives models a vivid metallic finish that highlights panel lines and contours. The 10ml bottle is handy for touch ups as well as full panels, providing a glossy, even tone when applied with care.

Fast Drying for Quick Builds

LP-46 is designed to dry quickly so you can move between coats with minimal wait. The resultant film is resilient under normal handling, making it suitable for both static displays and regular wear during handling.

Thinner Tips for Detail Work

For fine brush painting or delicate airbrush passes, thin with the recommended lacquer thinner and mix gradually. Proper thinning improves flow and reduces brush strokes or orange peel when spraying small areas.

Colour Matching Considerations

Keep in mind that lacquer formulations can appear different from acrylics and aerosols with the same name, which can be useful for creating layered effects or subtle tonal shifts on a single model.
