Tamiya LP-3 Flat Black

LP-3 is Tamiya's dead-flat black lacquer — no sheen, no shine, just a deep matt finish that's tough as old boots. It's the go-to for cockpit interiors, gun metalwork, undersides and anywhere a gloss would look wrong. Fast-drying and smooth, it's equally at home in an airbrush or under a brush.
