Metallic Flake Finish for Polycarbonate Shells

The Tamiya PS-53 Lame Flake Spray is intended for decorating polycarbonate RC car bodies with a metallic flake look. The 100ml can provides a robust, eye-catching coating suitable for track and park use.

Application Advice for Clean Results

Spray from inside the body at about 30cm to get consistent coverage and avoid runs. Use several light coats, letting each layer set before the next to enhance depth and sparkle without sagging.

Durability and Surface Prep

Tamiya PS-53 Lame Flake Spray offers resistance to oils and typical RC fuels, so it suits both electric and nitro models. For precise lines and small details, apply Tamiya polycarbonate bottle paints first, then complete with the spray.

What prep should I do before spraying a lexan shell

Remove grease and dust with isopropyl or a dedicated lexan cleaner, and mask off edges. No primer is usually required for polycarbonate.

How can I get deeper flake coverage without clogging the can

Apply multiple thin layers, allowing each to flash off. Avoid continuous heavy spraying which can lead to clogging or uneven flakes.

If I scuff the inside can I still use bottle paints afterwards

Light scuffing improves adhesion for bottle paints too, but ensure you clean off particles before painting to keep edges crisp.

Best way to touch up chips after running

Clean the area, apply a small amount of matching polycarbonate paint, then feather with another light spray pass once dry. Keep touch ups minimal to avoid texture differences.
