Tamiya 82148 LP-48 Sparkling Silver 10ml Lacquer for Scale Models  [82148]

Bring a Bright Metallic Finish to Your Scale Builds

Tamiya's LP-48 Sparkling Silver is a lacquer made for hobbyists seeking a vivid silver sparkle on models. Supplied in a 10ml bottle, this shade shows a stronger shimmer than LP-11, making it useful for tiny details or broader coverage through an airbrush. The finish is hard-wearing, works well as a basecoat under enamels, and dries quickly to speed up painting sessions.

Reliable Lacquer Results

Tamiya lacquer paints are known for even flow and dependable colour depth. Whether you brush highlights or airbrush larger panels, LP-48 produces a convincing metallic look and a robust film that stands up to handling and display.

Airbrushing and Thinning Advice

For best results thin LP-48 with Tamiya lacquer thinner to reach the right viscosity for your gun and nozzle size. Lacquer tones can appear different from Tamiya acrylics or spray cans, so trial a test panel to confirm the final shade before committing to larger areas.
