Quick-dry metallic lacquer for plastic kits

The Tamiya 85053 TS-53 Deep Metallic Blue is designed to give model builders a clean metallic sheen using synthetic acrylic lacquer in a 100ml aerosol. Its fast cure time helps when you are working on larger panels or multiple parts in a single build session.

Surface suitability and paint layering

This TS-53 lacquer bonds well to common plastic modelling materials and can be applied over thoroughly cured acrylic or enamel bases. That makes it simple to build layered finishes without lifting earlier coats.

Application advice for even coats

Make sure surfaces are dust free before spraying. Hold the can roughly 30cm from the surface and apply several thin passes rather than a single heavy coat. Allow sufficient drying between coats for best durability and a smooth metallic appearance.

Yes, you can spray TS-53 over enamel primer provided the primer is fully cured. Test on a scrap piece first to confirm adhesion and finish.
Coverage varies with technique, but one 100ml can will normally cover two to three 1/24 scale car bodies when applied in light coats.
A suitable primer improves adhesion and colour uniformity, especially on bare plastic or repaired surfaces, but if the surface is already painted and cured you may spray directly.
Store cans upright in a cool, dry place away from direct heat and freezing conditions. Shake well before future use to remix the lacquer.
