Precise Thinning with Tamiya X-20A

Tamiya X-20A Acrylic Thinner comes in a 46ml bottle and is blended to help Tamiya acrylic paints reach the right working viscosity. Use it to refine spray patterns for airbrushing or to thin paints for delicate brushwork while reducing brush marks and patchiness.

When to Pick X-20A

Getting paint consistency right makes a big difference on plastic kits and miniatures. This thinner improves flow and promotes even adhesion so colours lay down smoothly across models.

Practical Application Tips

Start with small test mixes; a 1:1 paint to thinner ratio is a common baseline and can be adjusted for your airbrush and pressure settings.
Flush your airbrush and clean brushes with a little thinner after use to prolong life and prevent dried paint buildup.

Can I use Tamiya X-20A with non Tamiya acrylic paints?

X-20A can sometimes work with other water based acrylics, but performance varies by brand and pigment load. Test a small sample first to check flow and finish before committing to a full paint job.

What dilution works for a standard dual action airbrush?

A sensible starting point is roughly equal parts paint and thinner, then tweak the ratio based on nozzle size and compressor pressure until you get a consistent atomised spray.

How should I store the 46ml bottle between sessions?

Keep the bottle tightly closed in a cool, dry place away from direct heat and out of reach of children. Wipe the rim before resealing to avoid contamination and check local disposal guidance for leftovers.
