Tamiya Acrylic Paint Mini X-10 Gun Metal

Gun Metal is the go-to for anything that should look like worked steel — gun barrels, engine blocks, exhausts and mechanical detail. Tamiya X-10 gives that dark, slightly warm metallic sheen that reads as real metal without tipping over into toy-like shine.

Best for

• Gun barrels, engines, exhausts and metalwork
• Weathered mechanical detail
• Brushing or airbrushing once thinned

The metallic that reads as real steel. Airbrushes beautifully thinned with Tamiya X-20A — pair the two for the smoothest finish.
