What is the mesh of Jiangyu metallic paint?
Recently, the issue of the mesh size of Takumi metallic paint has become one of the hot topics discussed by model making enthusiasts. The mesh number of metallic paint directly affects its particle fineness and spraying effect, so users are very concerned about the specific parameters of Jiangyu products. This article will combine the hot discussions across the Internet in the past 10 days, organize relevant data, and provide readers with clear structured information.
1. Analysis of mesh number parameters of Jiangyu metallic paint

According to the manufacturer’s public information and user feedback, the mesh range of Jiangyu metallic paint is as shown in the following table:
| Product series | Mesh range | Applicable scenarios |
|---|---|---|
| Basic metallic color series | 800-1000 mesh | Conventional model spraying |
| High gloss metal series | 1200-1500 mesh | Mirror effect treatment |
| Special effect metallic paint | 500-800 mesh | Aging/Special Texture |
2. Recent hot topics of discussion
1.Correlation between mesh number and spraying effect: Users of multiple model forums have found through actual measurements that the higher the mesh number, the better the flatness of the paint film, but special thinners are needed to achieve the best results.
2.Adaptability to different substrates: For ABS materials, it is recommended to use products with a mesh size of 1000 or above, while resin parts can be adapted to lower mesh paints to obtain a special texture.
3.New product controversy: The latest release of the "Aurora Metallic Paint" series (nominal 2000 mesh) by Jianyu has triggered discussions. Some users believe that the actual particle size deviates from the label.
3. Comparison of user measured data
| test items | 800 mesh products | 1200 mesh products | 1500 mesh products |
|---|---|---|---|
| 30cm spray uniformity | 85% | 92% | 95% |
| Reflectivity after drying | 60° gloss value 78 | 60° gloss value 85 | 60° gloss value 91 |
| particle visible distance | 15cm | 8cm | 5cm |
4. Purchasing Suggestions and Usage Tips
1.Military model preference: 800-1000 mesh products can better express the metal texture of equipment, and can enhance the realism when combined with matte protective paint.
2.Recommended Gundam models: Products above 1200 mesh are suitable for expressing the smooth surface of mechas. It is recommended to use the "thin coating and multiple layers" technique.
3.Frequently Asked Questions and Solutions:
| Problem phenomenon | Possible reasons | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Rough paint surface | Air pressure is too high/mesh number does not match | Adjust to 0.2MPa pressure |
| Not enough metallic feel | Improper dilution ratio | Dilute in a ratio of 1:1.2 |
| Poor adhesion | The primer is not dry yet | Extend drying time to 24h |
5. Industry technology development trends
According to information from recent industry seminars, metallic paint technology is developing in the direction of "ultra-fine" and "multi-functional". Data leaked from Jiangyu Laboratory shows that the mesh number of the nano-scale metallic paint it is testing can reach 3000+, which is expected to significantly improve the simulation of electroplating effects. At the same time, smart metallic paints with self-healing functions are also entering the research and development stage. Such products may change the traditional model painting process.
Note: The above data are collected from major model community discussion posts, e-commerce platform product pages and manufacturer technical announcements from November 1 to 10, 2023. The actual use results may differ due to environmental conditions and operating techniques.
