X-34 Metallic Brown 10ml

Tamiya X-34 Metallic Brown — Acrylic Metallic Paint, 10 ml

A Tamiya acrylic paint in the X-34 Metallic Brown shade — a metallic brown with a pronounced metal undertone. It belongs to the gloss X line (Tamiya's matte shades carry the designation XF). The bottle holds 10 ml. Note: this is a modeling paint, not a kit — you are buying only the paint, not a model.

Use

• Places where wood meets metal — rifle stocks, paneling, fittings, iron-shod wheels
• Worn, handled metal surfaces with a warm brown cast
• Racing and period paint finishes on cars and motorcycles in metallic brown tones
• Rusted and oxidized metal that should keep a metallic sheen, not a dry, rusty matte
• Small accessories — bandoliers, fitted leather straps, painted bodywork details

Application tips

This paint has a coarser metal pigment that settles to the bottom of the bottle. Take a minute to make sure the contents are thoroughly mixed — a few shakes of the bottle are not enough. Metal pigments perform best on a smooth, gloss base, where they reflect light; on a rough or matte base the shade darkens and turns gray. Save the metallic for the end of the painting process: overcoating with further layers, as well as washes and pigments, easily kills the metallic look. Be just as careful with masking tape — it tends to grip a metallic surface too well and can pull off a layer of paint when removed. For an airbrush, thin the paint with Tamiya X-20A and spray several thin coats rather than one heavy one.

Who the paint is for

For car and motorcycle modelers looking for a metallic brown finish, for builders of figures and military vehicles where wood meets metal, and for modelers who want to depict worn metal in a warm tone. Usable with both brush and airbrush.

Work in a well-ventilated room, and do not inhale fumes or overspray when airbrushing — protect your airways. Keep out of the reach of children.
