Reviews : Tamiya Acrylic X13 Metallic Blue 3/4 oz

This color is a really nice turquois-blue. I used 2 coats for small details and it looks really vibrant. I love it! It's one of my favorite out of the paints I ordered. When applied this paint looks great! Helpful tip: Shake up the paint well before painting to ensure a good shimmer on your model. Check the bottle of the bottom to make sure the glitter is not stuck at the bottom.

Tamiya makes the hobby paint on the planet. Its so easy to work with. The coverage is awesome. At first, coming from Testors, I was hesitant because Testors is so thin and barely covers. Once I used it, it was a game changer. I will be switching all my paints to Tamiya.

As with all Tamiya acrylics, thin between 1:1 and 2:1 paint to thinner for airbrushing. I personally thin about 65% thinner. 15-18 psi. Brush paint in one direction only and avoid over brushing until first coat is cured (not just dry to the touch)

Make sure to mix it well. With a bit of Future this stuff will brush on very smooth. Thinning it down and running it through an airbrush is also a great option even though I find this to be a better accent color.

I got this paint originally for trim on a Peterbilt, and decided to use it on the 32 Ford 5-window coupe - and I am SO glad I did! The color is absolutely FANTASTIC. The photo does not do the paint justice.

Another excellent Tamiya product PROs: Great for use w/ airbrush. Goes on smoothly, superb coverage and finish. CONs: None I highly recommend this product.

This color is great for any/all applications. Aircraft, ships, cars, rockets, whatever, it won't fail you.

A very good looking color for your cars. Sprayed real good and looks good

Easy to use and provides a durable finish. I like the water wash-up!
