Tamiya Lacquer Paints
Tamiya Lacquer – LP-35 Insignia White (10ml) 82135
Tamiya Lacquer Paints are a premium range of high-performance hobby paints designed for model enthusiasts who demand durability, fast drying times, and a flawless finish. Developed with a modern lacquer formulation, these paints offer excellent adhesion, rich colour saturation, and a tough, resilient surface that resists chipping and handling wear. Suitable for plastic, metal, and resin use, they are ideal for painting everything from vehicles and aircraft to figures and dioramas.
Each bottle contains 10ml of finely pigmented lacquer paint in gloss, flat, and metallic finishes. The colours are vibrant, true to tone, and formulated to work seamlessly with Tamiya’s primer and clear coats. This ensures you achieve consistent results across your entire project, from base colour to final topcoat.
How to Use:
Tamiya Lacquer Paints can be applied by brush and airbrush. For best results with an airbrush, thin the paint using Tamiya Lacquer Thinner (retarder type recommended for smoother flow and reduced tip drying). A 1:1 or 2:1 ratio of thinner to paint is typical. Apply in light coats, allowing each layer to dry before adding another. Drying time is quick, often within minutes, allowing for faster turnaround between steps.
Brush application is possible but requires careful control, as the paint dries rapidly. Using a retarder thinner can help prolong working time when brushing. After use, clean tools thoroughly with lacquer thinner or a dedicated airbrush cleaner.

Why use Tamiya Lacquer Paints:
Tamiya Lacquer Paints provide professional-level results with minimal effort. The paint’s rapid drying formula speeds up your painting process, and its hard, smooth finish creates an ideal surface for decal placement and weathering. These paints provide better resistance to solvents than acrylic paints, which makes them perfect for multi-layer painting techniques and masking applications. Users who work with military kits, cars, aircraft, or figures find consistent superior quality finishes with Tamiya’s lacquer range.
