Reviews : Tamiya Acrylic Flat XF-66 Light Gray 3/4 oz

This is good grey acrylic paint. It’s not as blue looking in real life. It’s in a good sized pot, and its consistency is a bit on the thick side. It thins well with water, and if you thin it to 5-6 parts paint to 1 part water it will give a very nice brushstroke free look in 4-6 coats. Definitely use a surface primer though as this can easily pull off of bare plastic with multiple brushstrokes. I like the price, value and quality of this one even though it’s probably comparable to any other light grey acrylic paint.

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.

It's the best paint from the best company(hobbylinc). Exactly what I was looking for. The color is like testor flat gray but just a little lighter. I'm in the process of swapping paints to Tamiya. Airbrushing thin 2:1 works great for me.

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.

The problem I have with Acrylic paint is that if used with masking tape, the paint will come off when removing the tape

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

It's a lighter shade of gray. I used it for some stuff on a destroyer.

After thinning paints well by airbrush and by hand. Great value/finish
