Is Tamiya XF-85 suitable for plastic kits?

Yes. Tamiya 80385 Enamel XF-85 bonds well to plastic if the surface is clean and free of oils. Light sanding and degreasing improve adhesion.

Can I use this over acrylic base coats?

You can apply enamel over cured acrylics but test on a scrap piece first. Use appropriate enamel thinner for flow and to avoid lifting the underlying coat.

How should brushes and storage be handled?

Clean brushes with enamel thinner after each session and keep the cap tightly closed. Store the bottle upright in a cool, ventilated area away from heat sources.
