Painting & Finishing No.225 CHIPPING LIQUID ♦Chipping is an excellent way of adding realism to your static models, simulating wear by allowing a base color to peep through the top coat. ♦This handy product is applied onto the base coat, with an acrylic top coat applied there after. ♦Apply water to the top coat and it comes away to reveal the base color underneath. About the Product♦Comes in a 40ml bottle. ♦Water-based ♦The image at right shows an example of use. *Use Tamiya Color lacquer-based paints (LP, TS, AS series) as the basecoat. Please note that gloss and metallic colors cannot be used. Matte metallic colors are OK. *Use Tamiya Color acrylic paints for the top coat. Apply a layer of Chipping Liquid with a brush or airbrush. It can be diluted with water if required. Apply a top coat of Tamiya Color Acrylic Paint. Brush water onto areas where you want to chip away the topcoat, then wait a few minutes. Use a toothpick or similar implement to chip the part, then let it dry. Chipping Liquid drops in effectiveness the longer a part is left after its top coat. Tamiya recommends chipping within a week of applying the topcoat.
