Why choose Tamiya Lacquer LP-5 Semi Gloss Black?- Semi gloss black – perfect for parts that shouldn’t be completely matte or mirror-gloss

• Very durable surface with a hard membrane
• Fast drying time, but slow initial drying so brush strokes level out nicely
• Highly suitable as a basecoat under subsequent detailing and weathering
• Compatible with Tamiya enamel paint for panel lining, washes and fine details

LP-5 Semi Gloss Black is especially good for parts such as interiors, chassis, engines, weapons, mechanical components and areas where a slight sheen gives a more realistic look than fully matte black.

Perfect for airbrush
Tamiya Lacquer Paint is designed to deliver uniform, clean color tones with an airbrush, without the need for decanting from spray cans.

• Mixing ratio for airbrush: approx. 1 part Lacquer Paint to 1–2 parts dedicated Tamiya lacquer thinner
• Apply 2–3 thin coats for best results
• Provides a smooth, semi-gloss surface with high coverage

The hard lacquer membrane makes the paint suitable for polishing with compounds, especially on smooth surfaces such as bodies and flat panels.

Works great with enamel for detailing and weathering
One of the major advantages of Tamiya Lacquer Paint is its resistance to enamel paint.

• Lacquer as basecoat
• Enamel on top for:

• Panel lines
• Washes
• Oil, dirt and grime effects
• Wear and weathering, especially on military models

Since the lacquer layer is not attacked by the enamel, you can work more confidently with your effects without damaging the base color.

Efficient workflow with fast drying time
Tamiya Lacquer Paint is designed to speed up your building process:

• Most colors are touch-dry after approx. 1 hour (depends on coat thickness and temperature)
• Can usually be masked after approx. 24 hours
• Less risk with multiple layers, as the lacquer coat is robust and withstands subsequent treatment

The controlled, slightly slower initial drying allows brush strokes to flow together, giving you a smooth, even surface without marks.
