Fast-curing metallic spray for model projects

The Tamiya 85053 TS-53 Deep Metallic Blue spray is a 100ml synthetic acrylic lacquer made for model builders seeking a metallic finish with reliable curing. It covers wide areas efficiently and is especially handy when preparing sections like 1/24 scale car shells.

Which surfaces work with this spray

TS-53 is intended for common plastic modelling materials and should be used only over fully cured acrylic or enamel layers if you are overcoating. This gives flexibility when blending or building up complex finishes.

Best practice for spraying and drying

Prepare parts by removing dust and grease, and shake the can thoroughly. Spray from about 30cm in steady, overlapping passes and let each thin layer dry before applying the next to avoid runs and to secure a uniform metallic look.

No, TS-53 is formulated for plastic model surfaces and is not appropriate for polycarbonate RC shells, which need specialized polycarbonate paints.
Maintain a distance of about 30cm and use several light coats rather than one heavy pass to reduce the risk of runs and achieve a smooth metallic finish.
Mixing aerosols is not recommended. If you need a different shade or effect, test combinations on scrap material first or apply compatible base coats before using TS-53.
