Acrylic Mini XF85 Rubber Black 10ml Bottle

Have you ever painted the tires on your model black, and then stepped back and thought to yourself, those tires are just too black? If so, this is the paint for you! It's just slightly less black than black making it perfect for your tires (or anything else that you want to be really really really dark grey, like almost black). The smaller pots aren't as good of a value as the oz., but unless you're planning on using it for things other than tires, I don't think you need the larger size. Its consistency is a bit on the thick side, but thins well with water (though Tamiya also makes an acrylic thinner that is better), and if you thin it to 5-6 parts paint to 1 part water it will give a very nice brushstroke free look in 3-4 coats. Although, I just use it straight out of the pot for painting the tires on my 1/72 planes with no problem. Very good paint.

Paint to Thinner range 2:1 to 1:1 for airbrushing depending on air pressure, paint volume and distance from subject. Experiment on scrap plastic first. Perfect new tire color and sheen

Excellent for hoses and other rubbery black details.
