Ideal Finish for Polycarbonate RC Bodies

The Tamiya 86042 - PS-42 Translucent Yellow spray paint is formulated specifically for polycarbonate RC car shells. A 100ml can gives enough material to build up even, translucent coverage while preserving moulded detail. This shade is a popular choice for adding a bright yellow wash without hiding decals or interior features.

Spraying Technique for Consistent Results

For best results spray from about 30cm away and apply several light passes rather than one heavy coat. Start by painting the inside of the body, allow each layer to dry fully, then add another thin coat if needed. Following this routine helps prevent runs and keeps the finish uniform.

Fuel and Oil Resistance Details

The Tamiya PS-42 formula has good resistance to oil and fuel, making it suitable for nitro or gas powered RC cars where exposure is likely. Proper application will help the finish remain intact under normal running conditions.

This spray is designed for polycarbonate and bonds best to that material. Other plastics may need a dedicated primer or paint designed for rigid plastics to get a lasting result.
Typically 2 to 3 light coats produce a smooth translucent finish. Allow each coat to dry before adding the next to avoid runs and patchiness.
Clean the body with isopropyl alcohol and remove dust. Spray in a well ventilated area and use a suitable mask and eye protection to avoid inhaling fumes.
