About product

Tamiya LP-10 Lacquer Thinner (10 ml) — Thinner for the LP Lacquer Line

LP-10 is a thinner, not a paint. It is modeling chemistry, not a kit. It is the original Tamiya thinner designed exclusively for the lacquer (nitro) Tamiya LP paint line. The lacquer line is an entirely different chemistry from the same manufacturer's acrylics and enamels, and so it has its own thinner. The bottle holds 10 ml.

Do not confuse the thinners

Tamiya runs three distinct chemistries, each with its own thinner: X-20A for acrylic paints (water-thinnable), X-20 for enamels (without the letter A), and LP-10 for LP lacquers. Do not mix up thinners between the lines — LP-10 is not a substitute for X-20A or X-20, and it does not thin acrylic paints. LP-10 is a significantly more aggressive solvent: do not use it to clean kit plastic parts or to degrease a model, since it can attack the plastic surface.

Use

  • Thinning Tamiya LP lacquer paints for airbrush spraying and for brush application.
  • Cleaning the airbrush after spraying LP lacquers — it also dissolves dried residue that water cannot handle.
  • Cleaning brushes and tools used with lacquer paints.
  • Fine-tuning the paint's consistency to match the airbrush's air pressure and nozzle.

Tips for working with LP lacquers

LP lacquers dry fast and form a durable film, but they are more aggressive to plastic than acrylics. Apply them in thin coats, ideally over a cured primer, which protects the plastic. Never apply lacquer over uncured enamel or acrylic — the solvent would attack or completely dissolve the layer underneath. Conversely, a well-cured LP lacquer works fine as a base layer that can later be overcoated with enamel or acrylic.

Who it is for

For modelers who spray Tamiya LP lacquer paints with an airbrush and need the original thinner and cleaner for that line.

A flammable liquid with strong fumes. Work exclusively in a well-ventilated area or an extraction booth, use a respirator, and protect your eyes and skin. Keep out of the reach of children, open flame and spark sources. This is a modeling thinner, not a kit or a paint.

FAQ

No. Tamiya acrylic paints are thinned with X-20A thinner (or water), enamels with X-20 thinner. LP-10 is designed exclusively for the LP lacquer line and is not a substitute for other chemistries.

No. It is a clear thinner for the LP lacquer line. On its own it colors nothing — it thins LP lacquers and cleans the airbrush and brushes.

We do not recommend it. It is an aggressive solvent that can attack the plastic surface. Use lukewarm water with a little dish soap to wash parts instead.

It is a flammable liquid with strong fumes. Work with good ventilation or at an extraction booth, use a respirator, protect your eyes and skin, and keep it out of the reach of children and open flame.
