Tamiya LP-81 Mixing Blue

Tamiya Colour bottled Lacquer Paints are highly versatile, whether using them to airbrush large areas, or pick out fine details with a brush. Their stunning, consistent tones add superlative realism to your model. Their tough membrane suits them ideally to use as a base coat, resistant to enamel paints, while swift drying times ensure an efficient painting process.

This specific LP bottle BLUE colour is for MIXING. The paint inside uses solely blue pigment. It causes minimal cloudiness when mixed and is recommended for making your own custom hues.

About Tamiya LP Series Solvent-based Lacquer Paints

Tamiya LP (Lacquer Paint) is a high-quality solvent-based lacquer in convenient 10ml mini bottles. It delivers a hard, durable, and smooth finish with excellent leveling properties, making it ideal for airbrushing.

LP paints are the lacquer counterpart to Tamiya’s popular Mini Acrylic (X/XF) series — tougher and smoother than acrylics, yet easy to work with. Great for modelers seeking a professional, resilient finish similar to Mr. Color C-series.

Highly recommended for mecha kits, aircraft, military vehicles, cars, and any project where durability matters.
