Rapid-dry Tamiya TS-40 85040 Metallic Black spray

Designed for model kit builders, Tamiya TS-40 produces a metallic black lacquer finish that dries quickly and sprays evenly. The synthetic acrylic formula is convenient for full-body painting, with each 100ml aerosol typically sufficient for two to three 1/24 scale plastic car bodies.

Compatibility and best practice

Apply TS-40 over fully cured paint layers; it is compatible with cured acrylic and enamel systems. For a flawless result, prepare the surface by cleaning and light sanding, then apply several thin coats rather than a single heavy pass.

RCJAZ is excellent! The products always arrive on time and in optimal conditions. Surely, the best RC shop.

What prep gives the best adhesion?

Clean the part to remove oils, lightly sand glossy areas, and apply a suitable primer for plastics. A smooth, dust-free surface helps the metallic lacquer lay down evenly.

Will decals stick to TS-40 once applied?

Decals adhere best when the paint is fully cured and flat or gloss level is appropriate for the decal type. Consider a light clear coat or decal setting solution once the base is dry to secure edges before final lacquering.

How long before I can handle the painted part?

Surface dry time is quick, but allow several hours for handling and up to 24 hours or more for full cure depending on temperature and humidity. Avoid aggressive handling until the finish has hardened.
