Product Information
Full details
This Tamiya TS-1 Red Brown spray paint is designed for adult model hobbyists seeking a quick and effective way to cover large plastic model surfaces. Its key benefit is a fast-curing synthetic lacquer that allows for immediate detail work with other paint types. A key caveat is that it is not suitable for polycarbonate RC car bodies; Tamiya PS spray paint should be used for those applications. This guide covers its features, usage, and care.

FAQs
What is the best surface preparation for Tamiya TS-1 Red Brown?
Ensure the plastic model surface is clean, dry, and free from any mold release agents, dust, or grease. Lightly sanding with fine-grit sandpaper can also improve adhesion.
How long does Tamiya TS-1 Red Brown take to dry?
Tamiya TS paints are synthetic lacquers and cure relatively quickly. While touch-dry in minutes, it's recommended to allow at least 24 hours for full curing before masking or applying other paint types.
Can I use Tamiya TS-1 Red Brown on clear plastic parts?
Yes, you can use it on clear plastic parts to give them color, but it will make them opaque. If you intend to paint clear canopies or lights, it's often better to mask them off before applying the paint or use specific clear paints.
Is this paint suitable for airbrushing?
No, Tamiya TS spray paints are aerosols and are not designed to be decanted and used in an airbrush. For airbrushing, Tamiya offers X/XF lacquers and LP lacquers.
What is the difference between Tamiya TS and PS spray paints?
Tamiya TS (Synthetic Lacquer) paints are designed for general plastic models. Tamiya PS (Polycarbonate Spray) paints are specifically formulated to flex and adhere to the inside surfaces of Polycarbonate/LEXAN RC car bodies.
How many 1/24 scale models can one can cover?
One 100ml can is generally sufficient to fully cover 2 to 3 models of 1/24 scale size.
Troubleshooting
Uneven finish or "orange peel" effect
Ensure the can is held at the correct distance and moved steadily. Apply in lighter coats rather than one heavy coat. Check for proper paint viscosity (temperature of the can).
Paint not adhering or flaking off
Verify the surface is clean and free of grease or dust. Ensure you are using the paint on compatible materials (plastic, not polycarbonate). Allow adequate drying time between coats.
Nozzle clogged or sputtering
Shake the can vigorously. Invert the can and spray to clear the nozzle. If persistent, remove the nozzle and clean it with a suitable solvent like Tamiya Lacquer Thinner.
Runs or drips in the paint
Applied too close to the surface or too heavily. Allow the run to dry, then gently sand it down and reapply in lighter coats.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Fast-drying synthetic lacquer for efficient workflow.
- Excellent coverage for multiple model kits per can.
- Allows for layering with other paint types (acrylic, enamel) without damage.
- Provides a smooth, even finish on large surfaces.
- Specifically formulated for plastic model kits.
Cons
- Not compatible with polycarbonate/LEXAN RC car bodies.
- Requires good ventilation due to aerosol nature.
- Color may vary slightly between batches.
- Can requires careful handling to avoid clogging.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Shake the can vigorously for at least one minute after the mixing ball begins to rattle.
- Hold the can upright, about 25-30 cm (10-12 inches) away from the surface.
- Apply in light, even coats, moving the can back and forth.
- Avoid applying excessively thick coats, which can lead to runs and an uneven finish.
Compatibility:
- Suitable Materials: Primarily designed for rigid plastics used in scale model kits.
- Incompatible Materials: Not suitable for clear Polycarbonate/LEXAN R/C body shells. For these, use Tamiya PS spray paints.
- Overpainting: Can be painted over with Tamiya acrylic (X/XF) and enamel (X-20A) paints once fully cured.
Care:
- Store cans in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
- Ensure the nozzle is clean after each use. To clean, invert the can and spray for a few seconds until clear propellant emerges. If the nozzle becomes clogged, remove it carefully and soak it in Tamiya Lacquer Thinner (or appropriate solvent), then clean with a fine brush or pin before reattaching.
