4. Preparation (Setup)

   • For best results, prime the surface with a suitable primer before applying the lacquer paint.
   • Lightly sand smooth surfaces for better adhesion, then clean thoroughly.
3. Preparación da pintura:
   • Shake the paint bottle thoroughly for at least one minute to ensure the pigments are evenly mixed. Listen for the mixing ball inside.
   • If thinning is required for airbrushing, use Tamiya Lacquer Thinner (sold separately). Refer to the thinner's instructions for appropriate mixing ratios.
4. Ferramentas: Prepare your chosen application tools, such as brushes or an airbrush, ensuring they are clean and ready for use.

5. Aplicación (Operativa)

Apply the paint in thin, even coats for optimal results. Multiple thin coats are preferable to one thick coat.

5.1. Brush Application

1. Dip a clean brush into the paint, removing excess paint to prevent drips.
2. Apply the paint smoothly and evenly over the prepared surface.
3. Allow each coat to dry completely before applying subsequent coats. Drying time may vary depending on humidity and temperature.

5.2. Airbrush Application

1. Thin the lacquer paint with Tamiya Lacquer Thinner to a milky consistency suitable for your airbrush. A common ratio is 1 part paint to 1-2 parts thinner, but test on a scrap piece first.
2. Set your airbrush pressure according to the thinner's instructions and your equipment.
3. Apply paint in light, even passes, maintaining a consistent distance from the surface.
4. Allow flash-off time between coats to prevent pooling and ensure a smooth finish.
5. For a deeper pearl effect, multiple thin coats are recommended.
