Overview of LP-61 Metallic Grey

LP-61 Metallic Grey by Tamiya is a 10ml lacquer tailored to modellers who want consistent metallic shading. The colour suits small-scale parts such as suspension pieces and engine bays where a realistic metal appearance is desirable.

Why Model Makers Use Tamiya Lacquers

Tamiya lacquers are valued for being versatile and resilient. Whether you apply with an airbrush for even coverage or brush in tight spots, the finish holds well. The lacquer's membrane resists enamel paints layered on top, so you can composite different systems without losing the base tone.

Speedy Dry Time for Multi-step Painting

These lacquers dry relatively quickly, helping you apply multiple coats with less wait. The faster cure time is handy when tackling several models or building complex colour layers on a single kit.

You should thin the paint for airbrushing using Tamiya lacquer thinner to get a smooth spray. For brush work, thin slightly for better flow on details.
Tamiya lacquers form a robust layer that accepts enamel overcoats, but always test adhesion and let the lacquer cure fully before applying different paint systems.
This metallic grey is ideal for 1/24 to 1/72 scale components where subtle metal tones are needed, such as struts, engine casings and undercarriage details.
