Finish Designed for Lexan Shells

The Tamiya 86003 PS-3 Light Blue spray is tailored for polycarbonate RC car bodies, delivering vivid colour and a resilient surface. Each 100ml can is sized to cover typical body shells with consistent application.

Best Practice for Spraying

Spray from roughly 30 cm and use smooth, overlapping strokes for uniform coverage. Always paint the inside of the shell to protect the outer surface; this technique improves scratch and chip resistance. After the first coat dries, add a second thin coat to strengthen the finish. For detailed work, use Tamiya bottle paints made for polycarbonate to hand-paint accents before or after spraying.

Suitable for Fuel-Driven Models

The formulation offers resistance to oils and fuels, making it suitable for use on gas-powered RC cars. This helps maintain colour integrity during fuel-exposed running and maintenance.

Can beginners use this spray safely on a first build?

Yes, it is straightforward for newcomers. Work in a ventilated area, practice on a scrap shell, and apply several light coats rather than trying to cover in one pass.

Will the colour hold up outdoors?

When applied correctly and painted on the inside of the body, the colour resists wear from normal outdoor use. Protecting the shell from prolonged UV exposure will help preserve the shade.

Is preparation required before painting?

Clean the shell to remove grease and dust, then mask off windows and details. A clean surface promotes better adhesion and a smoother finish.

How do I touch up small chips?

Use matching Tamiya bottle paints for small touch-ups, applying thin layers and allowing full drying between passes to blend repairs into the surrounding finish.
