Tamiya Flat Base is an additive agent designed to turn Tamiya Gloss Bottle Paint colors into a flat finish. Simply mix a 1:1 ratio (NEVER MORE) into a paint well palette for brush painting or an empty bottle for airbrushing. Mix well and add thinner if needed.
NOTE:This agent is not a flat clear coat. It’s an agent best used for converting Tamiya Gloss Colors into a flat sheen. Mixing a ratio greater than 1:1 will yield in a milky washed-out finish.
