MetallicTamiya Color X (Gloss)

Color-wise this is a muted, light metallic silver leaning neutral. It builds a smooth gradient with Flat Aluminum 2 underneath and Chrome Silver on the highlights, all in the Tamiya line. Titanium Silver is a bit distinctive: no other brand carries a strong same-finish match, though Humbrol Aluminium comes nearest at 77 percent. Any substitute is a mixing base rather than a drop-in, so tune it on the model.

Common questions

Frequently asked

What is the closest equivalent to Tamiya Titanium Silver?

The closest same-finish match is Humbrol Aluminium at 77% color similarity.

Is there a The Army Painter equivalent of Titanium Silver?

Yes. The closest The Army Painter option is Evil Chrome at 75%, a same-finish match.

What finish is Titanium Silver?

Titanium Silver is a metallic paint with a silver tone and a reflective finish. Because the shine comes from metal flake, a flat paint can match the color and still be wrong for the job, which is why cross-finish matches here are references rather than swaps.

What do I highlight and shade Titanium Silver with?

Highlight Titanium Silver toward Chrome Silver and shade it down into Flat Aluminum 2, both Tamiya paints in the same finish family.
