Give Your RC a Metallic Green Makeover

For hobbyists looking to add a personal touch to their RC car bodies, Tamiya's 82017 Polycarbonate PC-17 Metallic Green is an excellent choice. This 23ml bottle of paint is formulated specifically for polycarbonate surfaces to deliver lasting color and eye-catching shine for both track use and display.

What Makes This PC-17 Metallic Green Worth Using?

Tamiya has a long reputation for reliable paints, and PC-17 Metallic Green keeps that standard. Below are the practical benefits that make it a solid pick for modelers and racers:

  • Eye-catching Sheen: The metallic green finish adds depth and reflective sparkle that lifts any RC body design.
  • Reliable Adhesion: Designed for polycarbonate, the formula bonds well to shells and resists common chipping when applied correctly.
  • Smooth Flow: The paint lays down evenly, helping you achieve streak-free coats with minimal fuss.

Practical Tips for Clean Results

Follow these steps to get the best finish with PC-17 Metallic Green:

  • Start with a clean polycarbonate shell, free of dust, oils, and handling marks.
  • Build color with several thin layers rather than a single heavy coat to avoid runs and uneven surfaces.
  • Let each coat dry fully before applying the next to prevent smudging and texture issues.
Properly applied PC-17 adheres well to polycarbonate, but any paint can chip under hard impacts. Using thin, even coats and allowing full cure time reduces the chance of chipping.
For even color and depth, aim for two to three thin coats, building the shade gradually rather than applying heavy layers.
Clean the shell with mild detergent and warm water, remove any grease from fingerprints, and use purpose-made masking tape for edges and windows to protect areas you want to keep clear.
