Regarding the Use of Tamiya Color Enamel paints X-12 and XF-6


Products concerned
Item 80012 X-12 Gold leaf
Item 80306 XF-6 Copper

As the two colors listed above recreate metallic tones, their composition differs from other enamel paints. Please read and understand the information below before their use.

šWhen thinning with enamel thinner
Only thin to a standard brush painting level - excessive thinning can lead to permanent separation of pigment and thinner. These paints are not suitable for airbrushing.

šCleaning brushes, etc.
Please use Tamiya Laqcuer Thinner products (Item 87077 or Item 82110). Enamel thinner may not fully remove paint residue.

šWiping away paint
Also use Tamiya Lacquer Thinner (see above) when wiping paint off of your model. Enamel thinner may not fully remove paint.
*If painting multiple layers, lacquer thinner may also remove undercoats. Use with caution.
