Tamiya 87116 Diorama Texture Paint Light Gray Pavement Finish  [87116]

Tamiya 87116 Light Gray Texture for Realistic Pavement

Model builders seeking authentic groundwork will find the Tamiya 87116 Diorama Texture Paint in Light Gray ideal for simulating concrete and stone. Its water-based composition helps produce natural-looking surfaces for street scenes and urban bases.

Key Properties and How to Use

Supplied in a 100ml bottle, this paint has a paste-like body loaded with ceramic particles that create a tactile, bumpy finish. The mild-smelling, water-cleanable formula is easy to work with while wet and is suited to hobby bench use without harsh solvents.

Application Advice

Apply Tamiya 87116 with a spatula, palette knife, or a worn brush to avoid damaging new bristles. You can tint it by mixing small amounts of other Tamiya acrylics, and use enamel washes or dry brushing for extra surface detail after it cures.

Safety and Compatibility Notes

Do not attempt to spray this paint with an airbrush since the ceramic particles will clog and damage the tip. Manual application delivers the best texture and control for pavement effects.
