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.

No. LP-48 is formulated for scale modelling plastics and surfaces, not for flexible polycarbonate car bodies. Use polycarbonate-specific paints for RC shells.
The lacquer dries quickly under normal workshop conditions, but exact times vary with temperature and humidity. Allow short flash times and check a test area before applying further coats.
Yes. The hard lacquer film of LP-48 makes a good foundation and is generally compatible with enamel finishes, though surface prep and adhesion checks are recommended.
