FAQ

What is Tamiya Panel Accent Color Black used for? It is used to emphasise recessed panel lines, rivets and fine surface details, giving scale models greater depth, realism and visual definition.

How do I apply it? Simply touch the built-in brush to a panel line or recessed detail. The enamel wash will flow along the engraving by capillary action. Once dry, remove any excess using a cotton bud lightly dampened with enamel thinner.

Can it be applied directly to bare plastic? It is recommended for use over a fully cured acrylic or lacquer paint finish. Applying it directly to bare plastic may increase the risk of damaging the plastic or causing stress cracks.

Can I use it over enamel paint? It is generally not recommended, as the enamel solvent may soften or damage an underlying enamel paint layer. It performs best over fully cured acrylic or lacquer finishes protected with a clear coat if required.

Is black suitable for every model? Black is ideal for light-coloured finishes and high-contrast panel lining. For darker paint schemes or subtler weathering effects, Tamiya also offers Grey and Brown Panel Accent Colors.

Important Notes

• Apply only over fully cured paint finishes.
• For best results, apply over a smooth gloss surface before sealing with a clear coat.
• Use enamel thinner sparingly when removing excess wash.
• Avoid prolonged contact with bare plastic.
• Shake the bottle thoroughly before use.
• Use in a well-ventilated area.
• Keep tightly sealed when not in use.
• Follow all safety instructions printed on the bottle.
