Like all the Tamiya lacquers I have used, the Tamiya TS-17 Aluminum silver lacquer is very fine-grained and sprays on very smoothly. If you have not used Tamiya lacquers before, practice on a piece of scrap -- learn the proper spraying distance and duration to achieve the desired results and to avoid drips! Another good feature: After the lacquer cures -- I usually give it at least 24 hours -- Tamiya masking tape won't damage the lacquer. I believe you'll really like this lacquer -- take a look at the photo of one of my Caravelle models and note the results. You can paint enamels over the lacquer, so I have no trouble masking panels and painting various shades of aluminum and silver to mimic metal differences that are evident on the real airplane.

Tamiya seems to produce a really good set of modeling lacquers -- and the gloss aluminum is no exception, especially when sprayed over Tamiya fine white primer. A very fine can nozzle produces good coverage with a minimal tendency to run. Let the lacquer dry well before you judge the results -- my test pieces seemed a bit dull initially, but they sure brightened up nicely as the lacquer cured.

Excellent for bare metal airplane application. Does not peel off when masked over. Can be slightly sanded for shading. Good aluminum color, not a chrome finish.
