Smart pick for metallic model finishes

The Tamiya TS-100 Bright Gun Metal spray can is a reliable option for hobbyists seeking a clean, metallic look on model kits and display pieces. Intended for general hobby use, this spray works best on plastics and wood and is not recommended for metal surfaces.

Recommended surfaces and uses

Use this spray when you need a fine mist and even coverage on scale models, trim parts, or wooden accessories. The TS-100 helps reduce runs and patchy areas when applied correctly, making it a practical choice for many hobby tasks. Keep to the suggested materials for optimal results.

Prep and spraying guidelines

  • Shake the can well before spraying to blend the pigment and solvent evenly.
  • Spray in a ventilated area to aid drying and reduce fumes.
  • Keep the nozzle about 15-20 cm from the surface for uniform coverage.
  • Apply several light coats rather than one heavy coat to avoid drips and get a smooth finish.
No, TS-100 is not formulated for polycarbonate RC bodies. For clear lexan shells choose paints specifically made for polycarbonate, such as the PS series from the same maker.
Clean surfaces of grease and dust, sand glossy plastic lightly if needed, and use a primer suited to plastic or wood for improved adhesion and longevity.
Apply thin passes with 10-15 second pauses between coats, keep the can moving, and avoid spraying in very humid or cold conditions to reduce texture issues.
