FAQ

Is Tamiya X-27 Clear Red transparent? Yes. X-27 is a transparent gloss red paint that allows the underlying surface or clear plastic part to remain visible while adding a realistic red tint.

What is X-27 Clear Red commonly used for? It is ideal for painting vehicle tail lights, warning beacons, aircraft navigation lights, clear lenses and other transparent red details on scale models.

Can this paint be applied with a brush? Yes. Tamiya X-27 is excellent for hand brushing, especially on small clear parts. Multiple light coats will produce a more even and controllable finish than one heavy coat.

Important Notes

• Stir the paint thoroughly before use.
• Clear colours are translucent, so the final shade depends on the underlying surface and the number of coats applied.
• Apply several thin coats to gradually build the desired colour intensity.
• Use Tamiya Enamel Paint Thinner for airbrushing, thinning and equipment cleaning.
• Allow sufficient drying time between coats and before handling painted parts.
• Never apply lacquer paint over an enamel-painted surface.
• Test on a spare or concealed area when compatibility with the underlying surface or paint is uncertain.
• Use in a well-ventilated area and follow the safety instructions printed on the container.
