Tamiya Acrylic Paint Mini XF-85 Rubber Black

Tamiya XF-85 Rubber Black is a slightly warm, off-black matt tuned for rubber — tyres, tracks, seals and hoses all look far more convincing in it than in a stark true black. A subtle but hugely useful colour.

At a glance

Best for

• Tyres, tracks and rubber detail
• Seals, hoses and mudflaps
• Brushing or airbrushing once thinned

Convincing rubber every time. Sprays smoothest thinned with Tamiya X-20A — a natural pairing.
