FAQs

What surfaces can I use Ghiant RC Car Colours on?

These paints are specifically developed for polycarbonate RC car body shells.

How much paint is in one can?

Each can contains 150 ml of paint.

Can I use these paints with an airbrush?

Yes, the paint can be diluted with acetone for use with an airbrush.

How do I achieve the best fluorescent effect?

After applying light coats of the fluorescent color and allowing it to dry for 30 minutes, back it with a white RC Car Colour. Ensure you are painting above 15°C.

What is the benefit of using lightweight paint?

Using lightweight paint can reduce the overall weight of your RC car body, contributing to a lower center of gravity and potentially improving performance and handling.

How should I clean the painted body shell?

Once the paint is fully cured, clean the exterior with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners to protect the finish.

Can I mix colors from the Ghiant RC Car range?

Yes, you can layer and mix colors, but always ensure adequate drying time between coats and follow specific instructions for special effect colors.

Troubleshooting

Paint not adhering well

Ensure the polycarbonate surface is thoroughly cleaned and free from grease or oils before painting. Lightly sanding the interior surface can also improve adhesion.

Uneven finish or runs

Apply paint in multiple thin, even coats from the recommended distance (15-20 cm). Avoid applying too much paint at once.

Fluorescent or glitter colors not vibrant/visible

Follow the specific instructions for these colors. Ensure proper backing coats are applied for fluorescent colors and light coats for glitter. Verify the base color is appropriate.

Paint is drying too slowly

Ensure you are painting in a well-ventilated area at the recommended temperature (above 15°C). Avoid humid conditions.

Chrome effect is dull or uneven

Carefully follow the specific instructions for RC Chrome, applying very thin coats with precise intervals. Ensure the surface is clean and free of imperfections.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation:

  1. Ensure the polycarbonate body is clean and free of dirt, grease, and dust. Sand cut edges if necessary.
  2. Leave the protective outer foil on until painting is complete.
  3. Mask any areas not intended for painting using masking film or tape.

Painting:

  1. Paint darker colors before lighter colors to prevent show-through.
  2. Always ensure surfaces are dry and dust-free before applying paint.
  3. For standard colors, spray from a distance of approximately 15-20 cm.
  4. Apply multiple light coats rather than one heavy coat.
  5. Allow colors to dry for at least 30 minutes between coats or colors.

Special Color Instructions:

  • Fluorescent Colors: Apply very light coats, back with white RC Car Colour after 30 minutes of drying for optimal effect.
  • Glitter Colors: Apply as a base layer first, use very light coats, and allow to dry for 10 minutes before applying a base color over the glitter particles.
  • RC Chrome: Spray very thin, even coats (approx. 15 coats) with 2-minute intervals. Seal with RC Car print & Chrome varnish or Smoke 419 from approx. 30 cm.
  • Sapphire & Jade: Use black (610) or a dark base color as backing.
  • Windows: Use RC Car Colours transparent smoke-Grey spray. Allow the body to dry for 10 minutes. Spray very lightly from 30-40 cm distance.

Airbrush Use:

Dilute with acetone for airbrush application.

Compatibility:

Suitable for all polycarbonate RC car body shells.

Care:

Once fully cured, the paint is fuel-resistant. Clean the exterior of the body with mild soap and water if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
