Tamiya PS Lexan paints are specifically designed for use on polycarbonate bodies of RC vehicles (remote control). These paints are characterized by their high adhesion, flexibility and resistance, 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, metallized, neon, and standard shades. Transparent colors allow the natural, shiny surface of the polycarbonate to shine through, while fully opaque colors ensure an opaque appearance. Metallic and shimmering colors, in turn, give the vehicles a breathtaking, reflective finish that is particularly effective in sunlight.

When applying the paint, it is important to thoroughly clean and degrease the bodywork beforehand to ensure optimal adhesion. It is recommended to apply several thin coats to avoid runny noses and increase the longevity of the paint. Since the colors are applied to the body from the inside, the color sequence must be planned in reverse - so the details first and then the main color.

The use of masking tape allows for precise and sharply defined color lines to create custom designs. Once dry, the paints are highly flexible, meaning they will not crack or chip even if the bodywork deforms or takes a hit.

Some well-known colors from the Tamiya PS range are:

• PS-1 White

• PS-2 Red

• PS-3 Light Blue

• PS-4 Blue

• PS-5 Black

• PS-6 Yellow

• PS-7 Orange

• PS-8 Light Green

In summary, Tamiya PS Lexan paints provide everything needed to transform a simple polycarbonate body into an eye-catching, durable and individual work of art. They are an essential part of model building and help ensure that each model can be made unique and personalized.
