Customer Questions & Answers

  • Question: What is Tamiya TS-38 Gun Metal Spray Lacquer used for?

    Answer: Tamiya TS-38 Gun Metal Spray Lacquer is primarily used for painting plastic models, RC cars, and miniatures. This spray lacquer provides a sleek, metallic finish that enhances detail and realism in your projects. Ideal for hobbyists, it can be applied directly to surfaces after priming, and it's suitable for a variety of materials. Whether you’re a beginner looking to add a metallic sheen to your model airplane or an experienced modeller enhancing a detailed truck model, this lacquer delivers a professional look.
  • Question: How do I apply Tamiya TS-38 Spray Lacquer for the best results?

    Answer: To achieve the best results with Tamiya TS-38 Spray Lacquer, start by ensuring your model is clean and dust-free. Shake the can vigorously before use to mix the contents thoroughly. Hold the can approximately 20-30 cm away from the surface and apply in light, even coats. Overlap each stroke slightly to prevent missed spots. This lacquer dries quickly, so multiple coats can be applied to achieve depth in color. Great for small touch-ups or large areas, this technique ensures a smooth and uniform finish.
  • Question: Is Tamiya TS-38 compatible with all types of models?

    Answer: Yes, Tamiya TS-38 Gun Metal Spray Lacquer is compatible with a wide range of models, including plastic, resin, and metal materials. Its formulation allows it to adhere well to various surfaces, making it a versatile choice for hobbyists. However, it's recommended to test on a small area first if you're unsure. Whether you're painting intricate details on a scale model or giving your RC vehicle a complete makeover, this lacquer is designed to meet your needs.
  • Question: How long does Tamiya TS-38 take to dry?

    Answer: Tamiya TS-38 Gun Metal Spray Lacquer typically dries to the touch within a short period, usually within 10 to 30 minutes, depending on environmental conditions. For best results, allow it to cure completely, which might take a few hours. This quick-drying property not only speeds up your modeling process but also allows for multiple coats to be applied in a single session. Perfect for hobbyists who prefer to complete their projects efficiently!
  • Question: Can I use Tamiya TS-38 for outdoor applications?

    Answer: Tamiya TS-38 Gun Metal Spray Lacquer is primarily intended for indoor use on models. While it can withstand some exposure to outdoor conditions, long-term exposure to sunlight and moisture can negatively impact the finish. If you’re looking to paint items intended for outdoor display, it’s advisable to apply a protective topcoat designed for outdoor use to ensure durability. This way, your models retain their stunning finish regardless of where you choose to showcase them.
  • Question: What do I need to do before using Tamiya TS-38?

    Answer: Before using Tamiya TS-38 Gun Metal Spray Lacquer, it’s important to prepare your model by cleaning it thoroughly to remove dust and grease. Priming the model with a suitable primer is recommended, especially for plastic surfaces, as this enhances adhesion and produces a better finish. Make sure to work in a well-ventilated area and wear a mask when spraying to avoid inhaling fumes. Proper preparation will ensure your lacquer application is smooth and visually appealing.
  • Question: Can I mix Tamiya TS-38 with other paints?

    Answer: Mixing Tamiya TS-38 Gun Metal Spray Lacquer with other paints is not recommended, as it may alter the characteristics and finish quality of the lacquer. Each paint formulation is designed to work optimally on its own. It’s best to use Tamiya TS-38 either alone or with other compatible Tamiya products designed for mixing. However, you can layer different colors as long as each layer has dried completely to maintain the desired effect.
  • Question: What safety precautions should I take when using Tamiya TS-38?

    Answer: When using Tamiya TS-38 Gun Metal Spray Lacquer, safety precautions are crucial. Work in a well-ventilated area to prevent inhaling fumes, and consider wearing a mask for additional protection. It’s advisable to wear gloves and goggles to protect your skin and eyes. Additionally, avoid using the aerosol spray near open flames or heat sources, as the propellant is flammable. Following these safety measures ensures a pleasant and safe painting experience.
  • Question: How do I clean my airbrush after using Tamiya TS-38?

    Answer: If you’ve used Tamiya TS-38 Gun Metal Spray Lacquer with an airbrush, it’s essential to clean it thoroughly to prevent clogging and maintain performance. Start by running a suitable solvent, such as lacquer thinner, through the airbrush to dissolve any residual paint. Disassemble the airbrush as per the manufacturer’s instructions to clean all parts, including the needle and nozzle. Regular maintenance not only prolongs the life of your airbrush but also ensures better results in your future painting projects.

TAMIYA Paints Editorial Review

The Tamiya TS-38 Gun Metal Spray Lacquer is a decent option for painting inner frames of models, providing a realistic appearance with reflective qualities. However, it does not create a polished mirror effect. It is important to note that spraying high-stress areas may make them brittle and prone to breaking. Tamiya does not offer metallic dark bronze or copper sprays, only a bronze and dark copper in acrylic bottles. The lacquer covers dark-colored parts well without the need for a primer. It is not suitable for use on Lexan RC bodies, as it may crack and not flex with the material. Additionally, the 100ml size is not sufficient for painting an entire hardbody inside and out.
