Reviews : Tamiya Acrylic X12 Gold Leaf 3/4 oz

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.

high praises for this paint as it was almost perfect after a thin coat of primer and one coat, a very rare feat for a metallic type paint! Also, once cured it is quite durable so, while one should always take care, you don't have to worry as much about damage.

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

I did a lot of modeling in my younger days. Started back into it a few months ago . I find the Tamiya line of paints to be the best out there. I find them to give the best coverage, and in the nicest looking colors.

When applied this paint looks great! Helpful tip: Shake up the paint well before painting to ensure a good shimmer on your model. Check the bottle of the bottom to make sure the glitter is not stuck at the bottom.

i had a trophy from one of the cars I had built and part of the items for the car was a trophy for a race so I thought that white or chrome was not enough so I ordered this color to paint the trophyuyu

This is pretty good for an acrylic gold. I'd say it is a little too bright yellow and to much metal flake, as compared to say a testors enamel gold (which seems more accurate as a true gold).

This paint I used on the air filter housing of my Fireball Roberts kit build and it covered good without hiding details. Looks like the proper gold colored paint used as well.

This paint is very good and the color is perfect for my uses. it covers fantastic, needs a little thinning though. This is a great model paint.

Great color, gives a little sparkle/shine look! I've used on shells, ammo belts etc.

First time I tried Tamiya metallics. Wonderful color.

i use this gold as a base coat for candy paint jobs

This is an amazing gold paint that applies easily.
