Tamiya Lacquer paints coming in bottles - just announced
Posted by bluenote on Tuesday, October 17, 2017 3:18 PM

As per Tamiya USA's Facebook page:

Tamiya Inc. has introduced a new line of paint simply called; Tamiya Lacquer Paint.

Product Information: This is a brand-new range of paints in the Tamiya Color series. Lacquer-based paints were only previously available as Spray Colors, but now this range will be released in an initial release of 14 colors (1 new) and a thinner as bottled lacquer-based colors. Lacquer paints have the advantage of drying in a short span of time and giving a resistant membrane. Each of these products comes in a handy 10ml bottle in the same size and dimensions as Tamiya Acrylic Mini bottled paints. A second wave of 15 colors will be released shortly after the first 14 and a third wave is being planned…

Availability: The first 14 colors and thinner will go on sale in Japan beginning in November. The second wave will go on sale in early 2018 and the third planned wave is to be determined.

Availability in the USA: All Tamiya paints and chemical products go through stringent testing for compliance that are imported and sold by Tamiya America, Inc. into the US market. The paints imported by Tamiya America have clear labeling and warnings specific to U.S. government agency regulations. Tamiya’s ALL-NEW Lacquer Paint bottles will go through the same testing, approval, and labeling process as all other chemical products imported by Tamiya America, Inc. Once this process is complete, Tamiya America will introduce the ENTIRE LINE of these lacquer bottled paints all at once into the U.S. market in the future.

This is great news for those of us that like their sprays but want to use them in an airbrush.

Okay... 1 - I can’t read Japanese LOL!

           2 - Not a big selection of colors but I’m sure more will be forthcoming if the interest is there.

Screw Tamiya Lacquers. AK Interactive Real Colors Acrylic Lacquers is going to be a better choice in the long run. All 114 colors

Be sure to click on the video clip when you click on any color. There are a total of 10 videos on different tests using this product. This stuff looks very promising.

I'd be interested to know whether it'll be compatible with their existing lacquer thinner.

If so, the lacquer thinner could be used universally across all their bottled paint ranges, ie. acrylic, enamel and lacquers.

Yes they are. Like I said, click on any color, scroll down to video clip and watch the video. After each video, it will tell you watch part 2 next, etc...
