FAQs
What type of paint is Tamiya TS-63 NATO Black?
It is a synthetic lacquer spray paint.
How much surface area can one can cover?
One 100ml can is typically sufficient to cover two to three 1/24 scale car bodies.
Can I paint over Tamiya TS-63 NATO Black with other paints?
Yes, it is compatible with acrylic and enamel paints for subsequent detail work after the base coat has dried.
Do I need to use a primer?
It is highly recommended to use a primer for best adhesion and a smooth, durable finish.
Is this paint suitable for metal models?
While it adheres well to plastic, it is recommended for use on plastic model kits. For metal, ensure a proper primer designed for metal surfaces is used first.
How should I store the spray can?
Store the can in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, heat, and open flames. Always ensure the nozzle is clear after use.
What safety precautions should I take when using this spray paint?
Use in a well-ventilated area, wear appropriate respiratory protection (mask), eye protection (goggles), and gloves. Avoid inhalation of vapors and direct contact with skin.
Troubleshooting
Uneven spray pattern or sputtering
Shake the can more thoroughly. Ensure the nozzle is not clogged by inverting the can and spraying briefly. If persistent, try a new nozzle or can.
Paint runs or sags
Applied too heavily or too close to the model. Allow the paint to dry completely, then gently sand the affected area and reapply in lighter coats from a greater distance.
Poor adhesion or paint peeling
The surface may not have been properly prepared (not clean, dry, or primed). Clean the surface thoroughly, apply a primer, and reapply the paint.
Nozzle clog after use
Immediately after spraying, invert the can and spray for 2-3 seconds to clear residual paint from the nozzle. If already clogged, try cleaning with a solvent like lacquer thinner, but this is often difficult and may require replacing the nozzle/can.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the model surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. Apply a suitable primer before using TS-63 NATO Black for optimal adhesion and finish. Shake the can vigorously for at least one minute after the mixing balls are heard rattling. Test spray on a scrap piece or inconspicuous area first.
Application: Hold the can upright, approximately 25-30 cm (10-12 inches) from the surface. Apply in light, even coats, moving the can from side to side. Avoid applying heavy coats, which can lead to runs and an uneven finish. Allow adequate drying time between coats.
Compatibility: Tamiya TS-63 NATO Black is designed to be compatible with Tamiya acrylic and enamel paints, allowing for detailed work after the base coat has dried. It performs best over a primer and is suitable for use on plastic model kits.
Care: Store the can in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. After use, invert the can and spray for a few seconds to clear the nozzle. Clean any spills immediately with lacquer thinner, following safety precautions.
