Professional White Finish for Polycarbonate Shells

Tamiya PC-1 White is made for polycarbonate RC car bodies and comes in a 23ml bottle suited to hobbyists and racers. It produces a stable white tone that copes well with handling and display conditions.

Key Advantages of PC-1 White

The formula adheres effectively to polycarbonate, offering improved resistance to chips and fading. It flows evenly over complex contours to help achieve a uniform result across the whole body.

Step by Step Application Guidance

Apply the paint with a soft brush in multiple thin layers and allow full drying between coats to avoid runs. This method builds an even, professional-looking finish ideal for decals or further detailing.

How many thin coats are recommended?

Usually two to three thin coats give solid coverage on most shells; adjust the number for opacity needs and thin each coat if necessary.

Should I sand the shell before painting?

Do not scuff the inner polycarbonate surface; simply clean it with a mild detergent and dry. Scuffing can reduce adhesion for this type of paint.

What brush type works best?

A soft, flat brush helps spread the paint smoothly. Use light strokes and keep brush bristles well lubricated with paint to avoid streaks.

Can I mix colours with PC-1 White?

Mixing different polycarbonate paints is possible but test small batches first to confirm colour and adhesion consistency before applying to the full shell.

How do I clean brushes after use?

Clean brushes promptly with the recommended solvent or soapy water if water compatible, then reshape bristles and let dry to preserve brush life.
