Bright Translucent Coat for Polycarbonate Shells

The Tamiya 86042 - PS-42 Translucent Yellow aerosol is crafted for polycarbonate RC bodies to deliver a vivid translucent yellow that preserves moulded detail. One 100ml can is enough for several light coats, making it handy for both one off projects and routine touch ups.

Application Guidelines for Even Coverage

Spray at an approximate 30cm distance using brief, overlapping passes. Paint the inside of the shell first and allow each coat to dry fully before adding more. This layering approach helps avoid pooling and ensures a smooth translucent finish.

Suitability for Fuel Driven Models

Tamiya PS-42 is formulated with resistance to oil and fuel in mind, so it is a fitting choice for petrol or nitro cars. Properly applied layers help protect the colour and maintain adhesion under typical running conditions.

Clear coats designed for polycarbonate can be used over this translucent paint, but ensure compatibility and test on a sample to confirm finish and adhesion.
Remove uncured overspray with a suitable solvent for polycarbonate or use a gentle plastic-safe cleaner after the paint has fully cured. Avoid abrasive methods that could scratch the shell.
Mixing in-spray is not recommended. To blend tones, layer different translucent colours with drying time between coats to achieve subtle colour shifts.
