CHIPPING LIQUID

♦Chipping is an excellent way of adding realism to your static models, simulating wear by allowing a base color to peep through the top coat. ♦This handy product is applied onto the base coat, with an acrylic top coat applied there after. ♦Apply water to the top coat and it comes away to reveal the base color underneath.
 
About the Product
♦Comes in a 40ml bottle. ♦Water-based ♦The image at right shows an example of use. *Use Tamiya Color lacquer-based paints (LP, TS, AS series) as the basecoat. Please note that gloss and metallic colors cannot be used. Matte metallic colors are OK. *Use Tamiya Color acrylic paints for the top coat.

Directions for use

  • Apply a layer of Chipping Liquid with a brush or airbrush. It can be diluted with water if required.
  • Apply a top coat of Tamiya Color Acrylic Paint.
  • Brush water onto areas where you want to chip away the topcoat, then wait a few minutes.
  • Use a toothpick or similar implement to chip the part, then let it dry. Chipping Liquid drops in effectiveness the longer a part is left after its top coat. Tamiya recommends chipping within a week of applying the topcoat.
