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.
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.
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.
