Refine Scale Paintwork with Tamiya 82138 LP-38 Flat Aluminum

The Tamiya LP-38 Flat Aluminum Lacquer produces a subtle matte silver tone suited to car, motorcycle and static scale projects. It works well for covering large panels with an airbrush or for careful brush detail, giving consistent metallic shading.

Sturdy Lacquer Film and Fast Drying

This lacquer forms a tough membrane that makes an effective basecoat and shows good resistance when overcoated with many enamels. Drying times are relatively quick, helping model builders move through multi-stage paint jobs without long delays.

Practical Notes on Use

Supplied in a 10ml bottle, LP-38 is aimed at general model painting. The lacquer shade can vary slightly from similarly named Tamiya acrylics and spray finishes. For smooth spraying and best results use the recommended lacquer thinner and follow standard ventilation and safety guidance.

No. The LP lacquer series is not formulated for polycarbonate and can crack or peel on flexible RC bodies. Use paints specifically made for polycarbonate for RC shells.
Yes. Thin with the recommended lacquer thinner to match your airbrush setup. Start with small test sprays to dial in flow and pressure before painting the model.
The surface becomes touch-dry fairly quickly, but allow several hours before handling and up to 24 hours or more for fuller hardness depending on temperature and humidity.
