These Tamiya paints are superbly thin (about 1 mil thick) and when applied correctly and carefully, they dry very quickly and are super glass smooth; very little need for polishing (just use a little Novus #2 and apply decals, then apply Future over that...excellent finish). By far much better than the old candy-enamels we used as kids. BUT...!....BEWARE. DO NOT follow the color swatches that are posted in the TS pdf files, nor those on this (and many others) website because they are way off. I needed an exact match of purple and this swatch was exactly the right color, however the actual paint dried much darker and almost had a purple red/maroon hue to it, so be very careful. If possible, search the internet for photos of the caps, as they are somewhat (but not always) closer. Secondly, you must use these with excellent ventilation, or outdoors, and with a respirator mask. The fumes are horrific and carcinogenic.

Tamiya paints are the best out there. Easy to use, fast drying, smooth application.

This color looks beautiful on classic low riders. I used it on the 49 Merc. Very high gloss esp w clear coat and polish.
