Accurate Freightliner Cascadia Evolution finish using Tamiya 89973

The Tamiya 89973 TS Light Sand Metallic lacquer spray is formulated to echo the Freightliner Cascadia Evolution colour. Supplied in a 100ml can, it yields a smooth, durable coating preferred by scale truck enthusiasts pursuing an authentic look. It is designed specifically for polycarbonate RC bodies to combine longevity with a metallic sheen.

Reasons to choose TS Light Sand Metallic

When aiming for a showroom-level finish on an RC truck shell, this Tamiya lacquer delivers consistent colour and easy handling. The lacquer chemistry produces a robust, chip-resistant surface suitable for display and regular use. It performs well for both new builds and refurbishment projects.

Application advice for consistent results

  • Remove dust and fingerprints from the surface before spraying.
  • Use multiple light coats with overlapping strokes to ensure even coverage.
  • Allow adequate drying time between coats to promote adhesion and surface smoothness.

Suitable for restoration and custom work

This spray works well for customising new bodies and for maintaining the look of existing models. Its compatibility with polycarbonate makes it versatile for many RC trucking applications, helping models keep a factory-style finish.

The product is formulated for polycarbonate (lexan) body shells and is generally used without conventional primers when applied as directed.
Drying times depend on temperature and humidity; allow each thin coat to dry fully before adding the next to avoid tackiness and ensure a smooth finish.
Yes, the lacquer can serve as a base for further weathering and detailing, provided subsequent products are compatible with lacquer finishes.
Ensure good ventilation, use a mask and eye protection, and follow the safety instructions on the can to reduce exposure to fumes and overspray.
