Achieve Realistic Metal Effects

The 82154 Dark Iron lacquer from Tamiya gives a concentrated metallic finish in a convenient 10ml bottle, perfect for adding worn metal or machine-like surfaces. The pigmentation helps small details stand out under careful light.

Airbrush and Detail Brush Friendly

This lacquer flows well for airbrushing broader areas and can be controlled with a fine brush for highlights and panel lines. Its compatibility with multiple application methods makes it versatile for kit builders.

Sturdy Finish with Quick Cure

Once dry the paint forms a solid membrane that is suitable for further painting steps. It tolerates enamel overcoats and its relatively quick cure time reduces waiting between coats.

Using Lacquer Paints Safely

Remember that lacquer colours can vary compared to acrylics and sprays, so trial on a scrap is recommended. Always thin with a lacquer-specific thinner to preserve colour and spray behaviour.

With proper surface prep and curing, the lacquer forms a tough layer, but moving parts may still need protective topcoats or careful handling to avoid wear.
It is generally better to apply enamels or lacquers over lacquer; acrylics can be applied but test first as adhesion and finish may vary.
Keep the bottle tightly closed in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to maintain consistency and prevent skinning or thickening.
