XF-16 Flat Aluminum Acrylic for Hobby Models

Tamiya's XF-16 Flat Aluminum delivers a versatile flat metallic coat for model builders and figure painters. The water-soluble acrylic formula is suitable for brushwork or airbrushing and adapts to common modelling substrates like styrol resins, Styrofoam, wood and standard plastics.

Smooth Coverage and Easy Blending

The XF-16 flows evenly and provides dependable coverage, allowing smooth transitions and subtle shading. Its blendability makes it useful for fine detailing and layered finishes on aircraft, vehicles and figures.

Compatible with Multiple Materials

This acrylic paint bonds well to a variety of surfaces, including styrol resins and wood, helping models retain a consistent appearance after painting.

Can I thin Tamiya XF-16 for airbrushing?

Yes. Thin XF-16 with a little water or a suitable acrylic thinner to reach the consistency your airbrush requires, and test on scrap plastic first.

Do I need a primer before using XF-16?

A primer can improve adhesion on smooth or glossy plastics; use a plastic primer for best results, especially on difficult substrates.

How do I get a weathered aluminium look with XF-16?

Apply thin layers, work with washes and dry-brushing to tone down the flat metal finish and create realistic weathering effects.
