Tamiya 82002 Polycarbonate PC-2 Red 23ml - High Gloss RC Paint  [82002]

High Gloss Red for Polycarbonate Shells

Tamiya 82002 Polycarbonate PC-2 Red comes in a 23ml bottle and is aimed at modellers wanting a bright, glossy red on polycarbonate bodies. Its formulation helps the paint lay down smoothly for crisp colour areas and clean lines when masking. The result is a showroom-style finish suited to both display and club racing.

Why Tamiya PC-2 Works Well on Polycarbonate

Using a paint designed for lexan or polycarbonate is essential. Tamiya PC-2 Red bonds with the plastic to reduce flaking and keep colour consistent. The pigment load gives strong opacity, so fewer coats are often needed to reach full coverage.

Best Practice for Spraying

• Clean the shell with isopropyl alcohol or mild detergent and allow to fully dry.
• Apply multiple light passes instead of heavy single coats to prevent runs.
• Spray with consistent distance and movement for even coverage across curves and vents.
