This 40ml bottle of Tamiya Acrylic Paint Retarder serves to slow the drying process of acrylic paint, enabling a smoother finish whether applied by airbrush or brush onto a model. The Tamiya Paint Retarder can be used in a ratio of up to 1:10 with Tamiya Acrylic Paints, helping to reduce the risk of creating a grainy surface on the model. It is also ideal for painting glossy finish surfaces.

The Tamiya Acrylic Paint Retarder, available in a 40ml bottle, is a versatile product that can significantly improve the painting experience and results when working with Tamiya Acrylic paints. By slowing the drying time of the paint, the retarder allows for a more seamless and even application, whether using an airbrush or a paintbrush.

One of the key benefits of the Tamiya Paint Retarder is its ability to lessen the chance of producing a grainy surface on the model. Acrylic paints can sometimes dry too quickly, leading to an uneven or textured finish. However, by incorporating the retarder into the paint mixture, the user can achieve a smoother, more polished result, even on complex or detailed areas of the model.

Furthermore, the retarder is particularly useful for painting glossy finish surfaces. Achieving a high-quality, reflective sheen can be challenging with acrylic paints, but the Tamiya Acrylic Paint Retarder helps to facilitate the application of paint in a way that enhances the desired glossy appearance.

The recommended ratio for using the Tamiya Paint Retarder is up to 1:10 with the Tamiya Acrylic Paints. This allows for a controlled and gradual drying process, ensuring that the paint has sufficient time to level out and blend seamlessly on the surface of the model.

In summary, this 40ml bottle of Tamiya Acrylic Paint Retarder is a valuable tool for modelers and painters who work with Tamiya Acrylic paints. By slowing the drying time of the paint, the retarder helps to achieve a smoother finish, whether airbrushed or brushed onto the model. It also reduces the risk of a grainy surface and facilitates the creation of a high-quality, glossy finish, making it a versatile and essential addition to any modeler's toolkit.
