All-Purpose Spray for Plastic Model Bodies

The Tamiya TS-59 Pearl Light Red from the 85059 range is a synthetic acrylic lacquer in a 100ml aerosol that works well for covering large model surfaces. Its fast-drying formula helps scale modellers get even, high-gloss coats on 1/24 scale plastic car shells and similar kit parts.

Surface Compatibility and Overcoating

This lacquer sprays smoothly over properly prepared plastic and is compatible with previously applied acrylic or enamel layers when used correctly. It gives flexibility for repainting or touch-ups without extensive stripping.

Practical Spray Tips

  • Clean the model body of grease and dust before spraying for best adhesion.
  • Shake the can for at least one minute after the mixing ball moves freely.
  • Spray several light passes at a consistent distance to avoid runs and build a smooth finish.
No, this acrylic lacquer is formulated for polystyrene and similar model plastics, not for flexible polycarbonate shells which need polycarbonate-specific paints.
The surface usually skins over within minutes; allow extra time between coats and a longer cure before handling to avoid fingerprints.
It provides good coverage, but heavily pigmented bases may need multiple thin coats to fully mask underlying colours.
