Hi all,

I am working on a project at the moment that requires a thin wash of Black Tamiya Accent Colour over some metal parts in the engine.

When I discovered this last night I thought it would be a simple process of going on line and ordering some however there is a serious shortage of this product in the UK.

Does anyone know if there is a substitute for this from another manufacturer?

Thanks in advance

Any black oil paint diluted with some white spirit will do the trick.

Thanks Olivier,

I did consider this, I suppose I was just being lazy looking for a ready mixed bottle.

I clicked on your link to your web site, very interesting.
