                        Tamiya "X" paints

                        This may be a stupid question, but I don't normally use Tamiya paints so I don't really know for sure. I'm looking at Tamiya's "X" line. Is it safe to assume that, unless otherwise specified, the paint is gloss? In otherwords, X2 white is gloss white? It appears to me the "XF" line are the flat paints. Correct?

                        Thanks...and sorry for the dumb question. Blush [:I]

                        That's exactly right. The X- line is gloss colours and XF- is for flat colours. For example, X-1 is gloss black and XF-1 is flat black.

                        Ok, that's what I thought. Thanks, Daniel!

                        I use tamiya's paints to do all my airbrushing, due to cost and the thinning properties. I don't recommend them for brush applications. I use Humbrol for all my brush strokes.
