Colour and Use for Tamiya PS-16 Metallic Blue

Tamiya PS-16 Metallic Blue spray is intended to add vivid metallic colour to polycarbonate RC bodies. The 100ml can is sized to cover most full shells while keeping the finish consistent and even.

Painting Tips for Consistent Results

Spray the paint onto the inside of the polycarbonate shell from about 30cm away, using steady sweeping motions. Let each coat dry before applying the next to achieve a smooth surface. For small details and panel lines, use Tamiya bottle paints that are formulated for polycarbonate.

Fuel Exposure and Longevity

This paint has been formulated to resist oil and fuel contact, so it works well on petrol powered RC models. Properly applied coats will help maintain the metallic appearance even after extended running sessions.

Do I need to prepare the polycarbonate before painting?

Yes, clean the inside of the shell to remove grease and mould release. A mild detergent rinse and a dry cloth are usually sufficient before painting.

Is this paint suitable for nitro cars?

Yes, the formula is compatible with models that encounter oil and fuel, making it appropriate for nitro and other gas-powered RC vehicles.

Can I use bottle paints over this spray for detailing?

Yes, use Tamiya bottle paints for fine details after the spray has fully dried. Bottle paints are designed to bond well with polycarbonate surfaces.

How should I store leftover cans?

Store cans upright in a cool, dry place away from direct heat or sunlight. Shake well before each use to keep the pigment mixed.
