Refresh Your Body Shell with Metallic Green

Modelers wanting a standout colour for their RC shells will appreciate Tamiya's 82017 Polycarbonate PC-17 Metallic Green. This 23ml bottle is mixed for polycarbonate to produce a resilient, vibrant finish that looks great on both race-day bodies and showcase models.

Benefits of Using PC-17 Metallic Green

Tamiya paints are trusted in the hobby and PC-17 Metallic Green offers specific advantages for polycarbonate bodies. Consider these points when planning a paint job:

  • Bold Metallic Tone: The metallic pigment gives a lively, reflective finish that brings out contours and detail on a shell.
  • Designed for Polycarbonate: The formula adheres to polycarbonate and reduces flaking when applied as directed.
  • Good Application Behaviour: The paint spreads evenly, helping you avoid visible brush or spray marks when applied carefully.

Preparation and Layering Advice

Use the following approach to get consistent results with PC-17 Metallic Green:

  • Wash and dry the shell thoroughly to remove dust, oils and mould release agents.
  • Spray or brush in multiple light passes, allowing each layer to settle before applying the next.
  • Keep drying intervals between coats to prevent tackiness and to maintain a smooth finish.
You can add vinyl decals after the paint has fully cured. Make sure the surface is clean and dry, and press decals down firmly to avoid lifting.
PC-17 is formulated for direct use on polycarbonate, so a special primer is not required. Proper cleaning and thin layers are more important for adhesion.
Apply multiple light coats rather than heavy passes, maintain consistent spray distance, and allow each coat to dry to reduce surface texture and achieve a smoother metallic look.
