TAMIYA X-20A acrylic thinner is the perfect choice for thinning TAMIYA acrylic paints.
The formula is chosen so that the TAMIYA acrylic paints do not fade or become stained after the paint application and drying. Furthermore, the thinner is also ideal for cleaning airbrush sprayers (paint cups, needles and nozzles) and brushes (for natural hair brushes, use the Brush Conditioner (300087181) for care after cleaning).
When used with airbrush sprayers (depending on the nozzle used 0.25 - 0.50mm), a mixing ratio of 1:2 - 1:3 (1 part paint : 2 or 3 parts thinner) is ideal.

TAMIYA X and XF acrylic paints are made of water-soluble acrylic resins and are ideal for brush painting or for application with airbrush sprayers.
These paints can be used on styrofoam resins, styrofoam, wood, as well as all common model plastics. For better adhesion, we recommend a previous primer (TAMIYA primer eg 300087044 primer white) of the respective material. The paint covers well, flows smoothly and is easy to mix.Before curing, the paint can be washed away with normal water.

Colors labeled "X" have a glossy finish, while colors labeled "XF" are matte.
For use with airbrush sprayers (depending on the nozzle used, 0.25 - 0.50mm), the X/XF paints should be diluted with TAMIYA X-20A acrylic thinner (300081020, 300081030 or 300081040).
With the addition of the TAMIYA Paint Retarder (300087114) you get a smoother paint surface after drying (maximum mixing ratio 1:10).
