Mixing Red Built for Custom Finishes

Tamiya's LP-82 Mixing Red lacquer is a practical choice for model builders who blend their own shades. Supplied in a 10ml bottle, the formula uses pure red pigment to reduce cloudiness when mixed with other lacquer colours. It suits both airbrushing larger panels and brushing fine details, producing steady tones that help bring scale models to life.

Application Tips for Lacquer Paint

This lacquer is known for forming a durable membrane, making it a solid basecoat that resists enamel layers. It dries relatively quickly to speed up multi coat work. For thinning and cleanup, use Tamiya Color lacquer thinner. Be aware that using the paint unmixed over lighter layers can sometimes lead to slight colour bleed.

Colour and Compatibility Notes

LP-82 Mixing Red yields a vivid red that may differ slightly from Tamiya Color Acrylics and spray versions with the same name due to lacquer formulation differences. Factor this in when matching colours across different paint types.

Yes. LP-82 makes a tough basecoat that holds up under enamel topcoats, although matching drying times and using compatible primers will give the best adhesion.
Start with Tamiya Color lacquer thinner at about 10-20 percent thinner to paint for medium pressure airbrushing, then adjust to suit nozzle size and spray pressure.
Allow underlying layers to cure fully and consider a clear lacquer sealer between layers; thin coats and light passes also reduce the chance of bleed.
