Reveal Fine Detail with Tamiya 87189 Panel Line Accent Color

Model builders can use Tamiya 87189 Panel Line Accent Color in Light Gray to add subtle shading and dimension. The enamel is supplied pre-diluted to a brushable consistency so it flows easily into grooves and panel lines using the fine brush fitted to the bottle cap. The 40ml volume covers repeated touchups and multiple models.

Where to Use the Light Gray Tone

This Light Gray is ideal for pale or white components where a darker line would look overpowering. Paint along panel lines and allow the product to settle into recesses for natural definition. Any overflow can be wiped away after drying with enamel thinner for precise edges.

Precautions and Best Practice

Be mindful that these accent colors can make some plastic parts stiffer; do not use on moving joints or load-bearing areas. For controlled outcomes, apply over an acrylic or lacquer base coat and perform a small compatibility test before full use. On very flat finishes the paint may sink in more than on glossier surfaces.

Yes, the fine brush in the cap is meant for precise application and helps the pre-diluted enamel run into thin panel lines.
Work in small sections and avoid over-brushing. If needed, reflow tiny spots with a little enamel thinner to blend before it fully sets.
You can apply a clear topcoat after the panel line color is completely dry, but test first to ensure the thinner in the topcoat does not lift the enamel lines.
Coverage depends on the scale and number of models, but a 40ml bottle typically provides enough for several kits since only panel lines are being filled.
