Reviews : Tamiya Acrylic X19 Smoke 3/4 oz

This is another one of my favorite Tamiya paints. X19 smoke is great for tinting clear parts. A couple of tips for using this product, make sure it is always mixed well. Add a little X20 Thinner for brush painting, and use a dedicated brush for application. Add nice thin coats of this paint, allowing each to dry before adding the next. Build the coats of X19 Smoke up to get the desired effect. This works well for tinting windows on cars, and if you build planes, remember some of those windows are tinted. I have also used this for model railroad passenger car windows as well.

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.

There's nothing better for tinting windows, and creating the effect of smoked or black chrome rims etc. Just like the other clear Tamiya paints there is absolutely no need to bother thinning these paints if you're using a brush to apply the paint.

Very nice transparent black, color does darken with multiple coats. Thinning is simple for airbrush use, I recommend 2 parts paint to 1 part thinner. also the use of a silver or chrome under will make this even better

Great quality paint, easily thinned, and lays down smooth. Color is spot on to the lid. Definitely would recommend. The price is fantastic.

Great item for 'tinting windows' on models, or painting soot and such. If you mess up, just use windex to take it off

Easy to use and provides a durable finish. I like the water wash-up!
