Give Your RC Shell a Fresh Metallic Green

Hobbyists who want a distinctive finish for their RC bodies will find Tamiya's 82017 Polycarbonate PC-17 Metallic Green a dependable option. This 23ml bottle is tailored for polycarbonate shells and produces a durable, reflective coat suitable for running and display.

Reasons to Pick PC-17 Metallic Green

Tamiya paints are known for consistent performance, and PC-17 Metallic Green suits polycarbonate work well. These practical points highlight why it is popular among modders:

  • Striking Finish: The metallic green finish brightens up panels and contours with a metallic sheen that photographs well.
  • Engineered for Shells: The formula is intended to adhere to polycarbonate, helping lower the risk of flaking when applied correctly.
  • Controlled Application: Flows evenly for uniform coats, making it easier to build colour without heavy pooling.

Tips to Get a Smooth Finish

Follow these steps before and during painting to achieve consistent results with PC-17 Metallic Green:

  • Degrease the shell and remove any dust or mould release residue for best adhesion.
  • Apply several thin layers rather than one thick coat to build coverage gradually.
  • Allow adequate drying time between passes to prevent tackiness and uneven texture.
When stored and used correctly, the metallic effect remains stable. Avoid prolonged UV exposure and store paint in a cool, dark place to help preserve pigments.
Mixing different polycarbonate paints can alter the final shade. Test small amounts first to confirm colour and compatibility before applying to a full shell.
Use masking tape made for polycarbonate shells and press down edges firmly. Remove tape carefully after the paint has set enough to avoid pulling paint away.
