TAMIYA X-20A Acrylic thinner is the perfect choice for diluting Tamiya acrylic colors. The formulation is chosen such that the Tamiya acrylic colors do not fade or become stained after the paint application and drying. Furthermore, the thinner is also best suited for cleaning airbrush sprayers (color cups, needles and nozzles) and brushes (for natural hair brushes, after cleaning use the Brush Conditioner (300087181) for care). When using airbrush spray machines (0.25 - 0.50mm depending on the nozzle used), a mixing ratio of 1:2 - 1:3 (1 part color : 2 or 3 parts thinner) is ideal.
TAMIYA X and XF acrylic colors are made of water-soluble acrylic resins and are ideal for painting or applying with airbrush sprayers. These colors can be used on stirene resins, styrofoam, wood, as well as all common model plastics. For better adhesion, we recommend a prior primer (Tamiya primer e.g. 300087044 white primer) of the respective material. The color covers well, flows smoothly and can be easily mixed. Before curing, the paint can be washed away with normal water.
- colors marked with "X" have a glossy finish, while the "XF" colors are matt.
- For use with air brush spray machines (0.25 – 0.50 mm depending on the nozzle used), the X/XF colors should be diluted with Tamiya X-20A acrylic thinner (300081020, 300081030 or 300081040).
- X-/XF colors can also be diluted with Tamiya Lacquer Thinner (300087077). This enables faster drying results and harder surface finish.
- With the addition of the Tamiya Paint Retarder (300087114), you will receive a smoother paint surface after drying (max. mixing ratio 1:10).
