Discover the complete range of Tamiya PS Series polycarbonate spray paints, specifically formulated for painting lexan RC car bodies and radio-controlled vehicle shells. These professional-grade aerosol paints deliver exceptional adhesion, vibrant color coverage, and durable finishes on polycarbonate and lexan surfaces used in RC racing and hobby applications.
Why Choose Tamiya PS Polycarbonate Paints
Tamiya's PS line represents the gold standard in polycarbonate finishing for RC enthusiasts and competitive racers. Each 100ml spray can is engineered to provide smooth, even application on clear lexan substrates without cracking, peeling, or fading. The specialized formula bonds directly to polycarbonate materials, creating a flexible yet resilient finish that withstands the demands of RC racing, bashing, and display.
Featured Colors in This Collection
Our curated selection includes essential colors from the Tamiya PS range: PS-1 White for clean base coats, PS-2 Red for bold racing liveries, and premium metallic finishes including PS-12 Silver, PS-13 Gold, and PS-14 Copper. Vibrant metallic options like PS-15 Metallic Red, PS-16 Metallic Blue, and PS-17 Metallic Green add depth and visual impact to any RC body.
Application Techniques for RC Bodies
For optimal results, apply Tamiya PS paints to the inside surface of clear polycarbonate RC bodies, allowing the color to show through the exterior. This reverse-painting technique protects the finish from scratches, impacts, and UV damage while maintaining brilliant color clarity. Multiple light coats produce superior results compared to single heavy applications, ensuring even coverage without runs or sags on curved lexan surfaces.

Specialty Finishes for High-Visibility RC Racing

Unique tones like PS-19 Camel Yellow, PS-22 Racing Green, and PS-23 Gun Metal provide authentic racing livery options for touring cars, drift cars, and off-road vehicles.
Perfect for All RC Body Types
These polycarbonate paints are ideal for customizing RC touring car bodies, drift car shells, off-road truck bodies, buggy bodies, and short course truck shells. The PS formula works on all lexan and polycarbonate RC body materials, providing professional results whether you're building a scale replica, creating a custom racing livery, or restoring a vintage RC body.
Surface Preparation for RC Bodies
Clean all polycarbonate RC body surfaces thoroughly with mild soap and water before painting. Remove protective film from new bodies and ensure surfaces are completely dry and free from oils or fingerprints. Trim and fit your body to the chassis before painting to avoid handling painted surfaces. Apply paints in a well-ventilated area at room temperature for best adhesion and flow characteristics. Allow each coat to dry for 10-15 minutes before applying subsequent layers.
Complementary Products for Professional RC Finishes
Enhance your RC body painting projects with compatible Tamiya finishing products. Pair PS paints with quality masking tape and liquid mask for crisp lines and multi-color racing schemes. Consider backing metallic colors with PS-1 White or black backing paint to intensify color depth and opacity. For additional protection and gloss enhancement, apply clear polycarbonate-safe backing paint after your color layers have fully cured.
