Give Your RC Body a Metallic Purple Coat with Tamiya 86018

Tamiya 86018 PS-18 Metallic Purple Spray Paint 100ml is formulated for polycarbonate RC car shells and produces a metallic sheen ideal for full coverage. The 100ml size fits typical hobby projects and maintenance jobs.

Practical Spraying Advice

For consistent results spray on the inside of the polycarbonate body, keeping the can about 30cm from the surface. Use multiple light passes rather than heavy single coats and allow adequate drying time between layers. Use liquid paints for tiny details before spraying to keep edges sharp.

Compatibility with Fuel and Wear

The PS-18 formulation is resistant to oil and fuel contact, making it suitable for models that see engine fuel exposure. Proper application helps the metallic finish remain intact through normal use.

Do I need a primer for polycarbonate?

Polycarbonate-specific spray paints like this are formulated to bond without a traditional primer. Clean the shell thoroughly and apply thin coats for best adhesion.

What is the recommended drying time between coats?

Drying times vary with conditions, but wait until the surface is touch dry before applying additional thin coats to avoid runs and ensure even colour build.

Can I use the paint for small touch ups?

Yes, the 100ml can is handy for both full panels and small repairs. For tiny spots consider using a fine brush or bottle paint for greater control before blending with spray.
