Add Shine with Tamiya TS-18 Metallic Red

This synthetic acrylic lacquer, TS-18 Metallic Red from Tamiya, dries fast and lays down a smooth metallic coat for plastic model bodies. A single 100ml can typically covers two to three 1/24 scale model car shells, making it handy for multi-kit projects.

Surface Prep and Layering Notes

The spray is formulated for plastic model surfaces and can be used over fully cured layers of acrylic or enamel paints without causing lifting. Test compatibility on a spare part and apply light, even passes for the best metallic effect.

How many 1/24 scale bodies will one 100ml can cover?

Expect roughly two to three 1/24 scale model car bodies per 100ml can, depending on coat thickness and technique. Light, multiple coats will stretch coverage better than heavy single passes.

Can I spray over existing acrylic or enamel paints?

Yes, you can apply TS-18 over cured acrylics or enamels. Make sure previous layers are fully dry and keyed lightly if needed to improve adhesion.

What prep gives the best metallic finish?

Clean the surface of oils and dust, use a smooth primer if required, and spray in thin passes from a consistent distance to build up an even metallic sheen.
