Light Green PC-8 by Tamiya 82008: Built for RC Shell Painting

Tamiya PC-8 Light Green is tailored for polycarbonate model bodies and formulated to stick to those flexible plastics. The hand-applied paint lets modellers control coverage and intensity, producing a bright, durable green finish suited to scale and race style shells.

What Makes This Paint Suitable for Polycarbonate

The PC-8 Light Green offers good adhesion and colour retention on polycarbonate, avoiding common flaking or lifting. Its formulation balances flow and durability so you get smooth coats that remain vibrant after handling and minor impacts.

Practical Application Advice

Before painting with Tamiya PC-8 Light Green, wash the shell and ensure it is free of grease or dust. Apply multiple light layers with a steady brush motion, letting each coat dry fully to reduce brush marks and improve overall finish.

Will this paint chip on impact?

When applied correctly, the paint resists light knocks and scuffs, though heavy impacts can still cause damage to the shell itself.

Do I need a primer for polycarbonate?

Polycarbonate paints like PC-8 are designed for direct application without a primer, but cleaning the surface is essential for best adhesion.

What drying time should I expect between coats?

Allow each thin coat to dry to the touch before the next; typical intervals are 15 to 30 minutes depending on conditions.
