Tamiya PS Lexan paints are specially ådesigned for use on polycarbonate bodies of RC vehicles (remote control). These paints are characterized by their high adhesion, flexibility and durability, as the bodies of RC cars are exposed to heavy loads during operation. Tamiya, as a recognized manufacturer in model making, offers a wide range of colors to offer model makers and hobby racing drivers a wide range of design options.
The PS series includes a wide range of colors including transparent, metallic, neon, and standard shades. Transparent colors allow the natural, glossy surface of the polycarbonate to shine through, while full-coverage colors provide an opaque look. Metallic and shimmering colors, on the other hand, give the vehicles a stunning, reflective finish that is particularly noticeable in sunlight.
When applying the paint, it is important to clean and degrease the bodywork thoroughly beforehand to ensure optimal adhesion. It is advisable to apply several thin coats to avoid runs and to increase the longevity of the paint. Since the paints are applied to the bodywork from the inside, the color sequence must be planned in reverse - that is, the details first and then the main color.
Using masking tape allows for precise and sharp lines of paint to create custom designs. Once dry, the paints are highly flexible, meaning they won't break or chip even if the bodywork is deformed or takes a hit.

-

PS-2 Red

In summary, Tamiya PS Lexan paints offer everything you need to turn a simple polycarbonate body into an eye-catching, durable and individual work of art. They are an essential part of model making and help to make each model unique and personalized.
