Reviews : Tamiya Acrylic X1 Black 3/4 oz

The black color when dried looks very nice. It's very glossy and looks great. Unfortunately, it scratches a bit too easily. The paint doesn't literally scratch off, but it does scratch which makes it less glossy. It's nowhere near as tough as model master's enamel black, but then again that's enamel. When I use a acrylic gloss coat, it's slightly more durable, but still not good enough. I don't don't know about other enamel coats, but the clear enamel coat I used made it more dull. So unfortunate that such a nice gloss paint scratches so easily. I'll still recommend it because the paint is still excellent to work with.

This is a very nice black. It, like most other Tamiya paints, lays down smooth with an airbrush. I thinned with Tamiya acrylic thinner at a ratio of 3 parts paint 1 part thinner and sprayed at 20psi. It went down well, dried to a nearly perfect color of black. I have Used other paints such as Model Masters and Valejo, and all of them seem to be overly glossy even for gloss paint, but this was the perfect shade. I would say that the only down side to this paint is the cost. Per ounce it is about 2x more expensive than Model Masters, but the quality is definitely worth the cost.

This is a good product for both beginner and experienced modelers alike. Small issues can be easily cleaned off quickly with alcohol before the paint dries. Its great for brushing fine detail and airbrushing for larger pieces. I use these paints a lot with my model work. They stick better than a lot of acrylic paint offered by other companies.

Tamiya makes the hobby paint on the planet. Its so easy to work with. The coverage is awesome. At first, coming from Testors, I was hesitant because Testors is so thin and barely covers. Once I used it, it was a game changer. I will be switching all my paints to Tamiya.

I use only Tamiya paints on my cars and bike models they go on nice and smooth with no brush marks in the paint they are true to the color they say they are and a must for Tamiya models they out of the brush with hot water

This Tamiya, X-1 black, acrylic paint s easy to apply and provides an excellent finish. I last used it on my P-61 Black Widow model and am quite pleased with the results.

Paint to Thinner range 2:1 to 1:1 for airbrushing depending on air pressure, paint volume and distance from subject. Experiment on scrap plastic first.

Nice Black, easy to over thin, best ratio i have found is thinning with Tamiya thinner at 2 parts paint to 1 part thinner for airbrushing.

Can’t go wrong with these paints. I'm still learning how to air brush large and glossy objects but that’s on me not the paints.

As with all Tamyia Acrylic paints,coverage is excellent.I really like how it smooths out to an even coat and rarely needs a 2nd coat.

This is my most used paint and it works great. One coat pretty much covers whatever it is you are painting.

I think it's the cheapest price I saw and I can use paypal to pay it, better than other website

Great size.will last alot longer than smaller testors I've been using.well order again

If you need a good black with a gloss or satin finish this is the paint for you.

Covers well and applies easily. I like the water wash-up over the enamals.

I use this whenever, wherever a good solid black is needed.

Performed as I hoped it would. Excellent quality paint.
