Overview of Light Gun Metal Lacquer for Model Builders

This 10ml lacquer is tuned for model makers seeking a realistic metallic sheen. The Tamiya 82120 LP-20 Light Gun Metal lacquer works well for both broad airbrushing and careful brush details.

Tough, Fast Drying Lacquer

The lacquer formula forms a strong membrane that makes a solid basecoat and resists enamel overcoats. Its relatively quick dry time keeps build schedules moving and reduces handling marks.

Stable Colour and Layering

Expect slightly different tone shifts compared with acrylics or spray cans, but the lacquer line maintains consistent colour and good vibrancy for realistic metal effects.

Thinning and Application Notes

For best control, use a dedicated lacquer thinner to adjust viscosity before airbrushing or brushing. Proper thinning helps avoid runs and improves surface smoothness.

You will usually want to thin it with a lacquer thinner for airbrushing to reach the right spray viscosity. Test on scrap plastic to dial in the ratio.
A primer improves adhesion and fills fine surface flaws, so it is recommended, though the lacquer can bond well to clean, slightly keyed plastic.
Work in a ventilated area and use a suitable respirator for solvent fumes. Keep away from open flames and store the bottle capped when not in use.
