Tamiya X-11 Chrome Silver is a glossy metallic acrylic supplied in a 10 ml jar. It is intended for chrome-coloured trim, emblems and other bright metal details on scale models. The high reflectivity of this silver separates it from the darker Gun Metal in the same range, making it the choice wherever a polished or plated metal surface is needed. Brush it onto individual components or spray through an airbrush for consistent coverage across trim lines and panels.

Notes · Q & A
What's the difference between a paint and a wash?+
Paints are opaque colour for coverage; washes are thin, pigmented fluids that flow into recesses to add shading and depth. Most painters use both.
Can I use these paints in an airbrush?+
Many acrylics can be thinned for airbrushing — check the product description; ranges marked "Air" or "airbrush-ready" work straight from the bottle.
Do I need a primer?+
Yes for bare plastic, resin or metal — primer gives paint a surface to grip and prevents chipping.
