Tamiya LP-47 Pearl Blue: Color and Lacquer Paint Guide

Tamiya LP-47 Pearl Blue is a bottled lacquer paint, item 82147, with 10 ml of paint. Use this guide to distinguish the color and finish, check its role in a painting plan and avoid confusing the bottle with an assembled model or a kit.

Comparing Pearl Blue with other blues

Tamiya describes LP-47 as a glossy metallic blue. Keep the exact Pearl Blue name and LP-47 code together when comparing alternatives. The name alone does not prove interchangeability with another paint family or another blue in the lacquer range.

For a body-color decision, prepare a sample and examine it at different viewing angles. Record the actual preparation and finishing sequence so your comparison represents the intended result.

The identifiers to match on the bottle

• Paint code: LP-47
• Color: Pearl Blue
• Tamiya item number: 82147
• Muncle Mikes SKU: TAM82147
• Range and quantity: Tamiya Color Lacquer Paint, 10 ml

The item number identifies the paint reference. It is not a scale ratio or a parts count. This purchase is paint; a model, assembly parts and decals are not included as part of the bottle.

Plan the application before painting

Tamiya describes its bottled lacquers for airbrushing larger areas and brush-painting details. Select the method for the area being painted and follow the current paint, thinner and equipment instructions. The range has a dedicated lacquer thinner; the color code does not specify a mixing ratio or an airbrush pressure.

Test the intended preparation and application on a suitable spare surface before treating a visible model part. Record the materials and settings you actually used if you need to repeat the result. Read the handling and safety instructions on the container.

Understand the finish without assuming universal compatibility

Tamiya describes a fast-drying film that can serve as an enamel-resistant basecoat. This does not establish a universal drying interval or compatibility with every clear coat, wash or solvent. Check the instructions for every product in the planned sequence and test the combination before applying it to the model.

Tamiya also notes that its lacquers may differ slightly from acrylics and sprays with the same name. Keep the range and paint code together when comparing options or replenishing a partly completed project.
