Tamiya 82132 LP-32 Light Gray (IJN) Lacquer Paint No.32 - Modeller Finish  [82132]

Tamiya 82132 Light Gray Uses and Finish

Tamiya 82132 Light Gray lacquer paint comes in a 10ml bottle and is a flexible choice for hobbyists who need consistent coverage for both airbrushing and hand painting. The light gray tone is well suited to IJN subjects such as the Mitsubishi A6M5 Zero and pairs nicely with darker shades like LP-31 Dark Green 2 (IJN).

Durability and Handling

The Tamiya Color Lacquer Paints line is valued for forming a tough film that works well as a basecoat under enamel paints. These lacquers dry quickly to help speed up build workflows, and there is a dedicated Tamiya lacquer thinner available to adjust flow and viscosity for different techniques.

Practical Painting Tips

• Airbrush larger panels to get an even, smooth finish with minimal brush marks.
• Use a small, quality brush for fine cockpit and panel detail to keep edges crisp.
• Thin with the manufacturer recommended lacquer thinner and test spray on scrap before committing to a model.

Colour Matching Notes

Keep in mind lacquer tones can differ slightly from Tamiya acrylics and spray cans with the same name. Always trial the paint on a hidden area to confirm the result before completing the job.
