Tamiya PS-16 Metallic Blue - Polycarbonate Paint

Tamiya PS-16 Metallic Blue spray paint is intended for applying metallic colour to polycarbonate RC bodies. The 100ml can is designed to cover a standard shell while producing a consistent metallic sheen.

Application Guidelines

For best results, spray the paint onto the inside surface of the polycarbonate body from approximately 30cm. Allow the initial coat to dry before applying further coats to build up colour evenly. Small features are best finished with Tamiya bottle paints that are compatible with polycarbonate.

Performance and Compatibility

The paint formulation tolerates oil and fuel exposure, making it appropriate for use on petrol powered RC vehicles. Correct layering and drying will help maintain the metallic blue look under normal running conditions.

Is Tamiya PS-16 safe for nitro powered cars?

Yes, the paint is formulated to resist exposure to oil and fuel, so it is suitable for nitro and other petrol powered RC cars when applied correctly.

How do I avoid uneven colour when painting?

Spray in light, even passes from the recommended distance and allow each coat to dry before applying the next. Multiple thin coats give a smoother metallic finish than one heavy coat.

Can I mix this with other Tamiya paints?

Use Tamiya bottle paints for detail work after the spray has dried; however avoid mixing aerosol spray with other types in the same pass. Bottle paints are suitable for polycarbonate accents.

What prep is needed before painting?

Clean the inside of the body to remove mould release agents and oils. A quick wash with mild detergent and full drying will improve adhesion and finish quality.
