Spray Finish for Model Builders

The Tamiya 85057 TS-57 Blue Violet spray is aimed at builders who want consistent, even colour on plastic kits. Its synthetic acrylic lacquer mix dries quickly so you can progress through build stages without long delays.

How Much Paint Per Can

A 100ml can of TS-57 Blue Violet commonly covers two to three 1/24 scale plastic car shells, giving good value when you are painting several projects or test pieces.

Compatibility and Layering

Tamiya TS series paints like TS-57 can be layered over properly cured acrylic or enamel paint. This makes the product suitable for touch-ups and multi-layer finishes when previous coats are fully dry.

Drying and Handling

The synthetic acrylic lacquer formulation promotes rapid drying at the surface, which helps minimise handling time and allows earlier fine work and assembly.

Can TS-57 be used on lexan RC bodies?

No. TS series paints are solvent-based and can damage polycarbonate lexan panels. Use the PS series designed for lexan shells instead.

Do I need to prime before spraying?

Priming is recommended for bare metal, resin or poorly prepared plastic to ensure adhesion and an even top coat. For standard ABS plastics, clean and degrease before spraying.

What nozzle technique gives best results?

Hold the can 20-30 cm from the surface and use steady, overlapping passes. Light, even coats reduce runs and give a smoother finish than heavy single coats.

Is additional thinning required?

No thinning is needed for the aerosol can product. If you decant into a spray gun, follow the manufacturer's guidance for thinning ratios and safety precautions.
