Pure Mixing Red for Scale Kit Colouring

Tamiya LP-82 Mixing Red lacquer comes in a compact 10ml bottle and is formulated with only red pigment to keep mixes clean. Model makers can blend precise tones for both spray and brush applications without introducing excess cloudiness. It delivers consistent colour depth useful for realistic finishes on scale models.

How to Use LP-82 on Models

The lacquer forms a resilient surface film, making it a dependable basecoat that stands up to enamel coatings. It dries quickly compared with some paints, helping speed up multi layer projects. Use Tamiya Color lacquer thinner for proper thinning and cleaning. Note that using LP-82 straight from the bottle over freshly painted layers may cause some transfer from lower colours.

Matching and Differences with Other Lines

Expect slight colour shifts between LP-82 and similarly named Tamiya Acrylics or spray products, because lacquer pigments and binders behave differently. Test mixes before committing to a full panel match.

LP-82 can be used as a coloured base under primers or clear coats, but for priming large areas consider a dedicated primer. When used as a base, it helps maintain adhesion with enamel top layers.
Yes. Because LP-82 uses pure red pigment, it mixes cleanly with other lacquers to create custom shades; mix small test batches first to check tone and consistency.
Work in a ventilated area and use appropriate respiratory protection. Clean brushes and equipment with Tamiya Color lacquer thinner and dispose of rags safely to avoid fire risk.
