Tamiya Polycarbonate (PC) paints are designed to be used on Lexan/Polycarbonate R/C Body shells. The flexibility of PC paints allows the polycarbonate to flex without the paint cracking or scratching. PS paints are generally applied on the inside of a body shell so the color stays intact during impacts. For best results when painting a car body with multiple colors, apply dark colors first and light colors last. Metallic colors should be backed up with a silver final coat. Translucent colors can be backed up with like colors or metallics for different effects. Experiment with scraps of Lexan to see what will work best for your project.
NOTE: Polycarbonate paints are impervious to oil and fuels, so they can be safely used on gas-powered R/C bodies. Never use these paints on plastic models. |
