Tamiya 87160 Fine Surface Primer L Oxide Red for Plastic and Metal  [87160]

Surface Prep with Tamiya Oxide Red Primer

For model builders wanting a clean, scale-accurate finish, the Tamiya 87160 Fine Surface Primer in Oxide Red delivers a uniform base for both plastic and metal parts. Its formulation lays down a fine texture that helps subsequent paint layers sit evenly and look truer to tone.

Best Uses for Oxide Red

Oxide Red works especially well under military schemes and weathered finishes, giving a believable rust or undercoat tone for armour and vehicles. It also supports chipping and dry-brushing techniques by providing a consistent mid-tone that enhances weathering effects.

Spray Tips and Coverage

This spray comes in a 180ml can, offering enough primer for several small projects or touch ups. Apply in light, even passes in a ventilated area, allow quick tack-free drying, and then proceed to paint and detail when the surface is fully set.
