About product

What the paint is for

LP-53 Clear Orange is a transparent orange from the Tamiya LP range. Unlike a covering shade, it does not hide the base, only tints it. It is used anywhere a surface should be colored while staying translucent, or where the shine of metal underneath should still show through.

Field of use

Typical uses are clear position and marker lights, orange beacon covers and reflectors, and orange turn signal lenses on vehicles. Applied over silver or aluminum paint, it gives a warm metallic tint suited to burnt exhaust pipes and hot engine parts. It also works well for fine-tuning the shade of an already sprayed area, where a covering paint would ruin the work.

Application tips

Build the shade up with the number of coats, not one heavy one. Apply a thin coat, let it dry, and only then decide whether to add another, since transparent paints darken slowly but irreversibly. Spraying gives the best result; with a brush, strokes are hard to hide on transparent shades. The base must be smooth and clean, since every flaw shows through a transparent coat. Use the thinner made for this range and the mixing ratio per the manufacturer's instructions on the packaging.

FAQ

It does not cover the base, only tints it. What is underneath stays visible through the coat, including the shine of a metallic paint.

With the thinner made for this range, in the ratio given in the manufacturer's instructions on the packaging.

By adding more thin coats, not one heavy one. Each coat deepens the shade, and it cannot be lightened again afterward.

Spraying gives a better result. A transparent coat does not hide brush strokes, and uneven coverage shows clearly on it.
