Acrylic XF2 Flat White 3/4 oz

This is good white acrylic paint. It’s in a good sized pot, and its consistency is a bit on the thick side. It thins well with water, and if you thin it to 5-6 parts paint to 1 part water it will give a very nice brushstroke free look in 5-7 coats. It needs the extra coats because it’s white, and everything shows through. Definitely use a surface primer though as this can easily pull off of bare plastic with multiple brushstrokes. I would still recommend thinning it to avoid visible brushstrokes. Also the surface primer will help conceal the color of the plastic allowing you to use fewer coats. Probably white acrylics are pretty standard, but I like the price, value and quality of this one.

Excellent color and density, white, for whatever reason requires less thinner than the other paints. I would recommend using only about half the thinner normally used for darker shades.

I normally have great things to say about Tamiya products, this is one that is not the case. Though the color and shade is perfect, exactly what i needed (and wanted Tamiya expecting the normal great aspects), it is very thin, and does not apply well. It requires 4 or 5 coats to get a solid layer on it, but it is not consistent. Maybe a primer would make it better.
