Tamiya 82148 LP-48 Sparkling Silver Model Lacquer 10ml Bottle  [82148]

High-Gloss Sparkle for Scale Modelling

Tamiya LP-48 Sparkling Silver is a lacquer designed for modellers who want a pronounced silver sheen. The 10ml bottle delivers a brighter sparkle than LP-11, making it handy for chrome effects, trim highlights, or broader coverage with an airbrush. It produces a durable finish that can serve as a basecoat and accepts enamel overcoats when applied correctly.
