Colour Your RC Body with Tamiya 86018 PS-18

Tamiya 86018 PS-18 Metallic Purple Spray Paint 100ml is designed to produce vibrant colour on polycarbonate RC car shells. The 100ml volume suits both full repaints and targeted touch ups on model bodies.

Application Notes for Best Results

Spray from the inside of the polycarbonate shell to protect the finish and enhance gloss. Hold the can at around 30cm and use light, even sweeps to build coverage. Let each layer dry before adding more coats to avoid pooling. For small graphics or accents, apply bottle paints first and mask before spraying.

Durability Against Fuels and Oils

The PS-18 mix offers resistance to oil and fuel contact, which helps when running nitro or fuel-powered RC cars. When applied properly the metallic colour remains stable under routine use.

Can I use this on other plastics and metals?

This spray is meant for polycarbonate RC bodies and performs poorly on most other plastics or bare metal without proper priming and preparation.

Any tips for avoiding orange peel?

Use thin, even coats and maintain the correct distance. Temperature and humidity affect finish quality, so spray in a stable, dust-free environment for the flattest result.

Will the colour fade with sunlight exposure?

Like most paints, extended UV exposure can alter the finish over time. Parking or storing models away from direct sun when possible helps retain the metallic tone.
