Achieve a Crisp Silver Look with Tamiya PS-12

Tamiya PS-12 Silver Spray is made for painting polycarbonate RC shells and delivers a clean inner coat. The 100ml can provides enough paint for careful, even coverage when applied properly. Spray from around 30cm onto the inner surface in light layers, and allow the first layer to dry before applying another coat to improve uniformity.

Detail Work and Compatibility Advice

For trimming and small features, brush in colours using Tamiya polycarbonate bottle paints before spraying to maintain crisp lines. This method helps when masking complex designs. PS-12 is resistant to oil and fuel, so it is a good option where engines or fuel exposure are a factor.

Can I spray Tamiya PS-12 over pre-printed shells?

If the pre-printed graphics are on polycarbonate, you can spray over them carefully. Mask off the areas you want to keep and test on a spare shell to check adhesion.

Is the 100ml can enough for a single 1/10 body?

Coverage depends on how many light coats you apply and how much brushing you do first. For most single bodyshell jobs with thin coats, a 100ml can is typically sufficient, but plan for extra cans for multiple colours or heavy layering.

How do I avoid runs and orange peel?

Keep the can moving with steady, thin passes and hold it at the recommended distance of about 30cm. Avoid heavy wet coats; build colour gradually and allow proper drying between layers for a smooth finish.

Can I mask the shell and paint multiple colours?

Yes. Mask carefully with low-tack tape and spray in light layers. Brush in fine details with compatible bottle paints before removing masks for sharper edges.
