This paint is specifically designed for polycarbonate body shells, commonly used for RC cars.
While primarily designed for RC car bodies, it can be used on other polycarbonate items if a similar durable, flexible finish is required. Ensure proper ventilation.
The chrome effect requires spraying very thin, even coats at approximately 2-minute intervals. It's crucial to then seal the chrome with a specific varnish or smoke color applied from a distance.
Yes, the product information suggests diluting with acetone for airbrush application.
The paint is quick-drying, with recommended drying times of about 30 minutes between coats. Full curing time will vary based on environmental conditions.
Compared to pre-painted or water-based colored bodies, it can offer up to 15 grams less weight on a 1/10 scale race body, contributing to a lower center of gravity.
Clean the painted surface gently with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or strong solvents which could damage the paint finish.
Ensure the polycarbonate surface is thoroughly cleaned and free of any residue before painting. The surface may need light scuffing if it's too smooth. Ensure correct spray distance and thin coats.
Maintain a consistent spray distance and speed. Apply in thin, even coats rather than heavy ones. Ensure adequate ventilation to prevent pooling.
The paint was likely applied too thickly or from too close. Allow the coat to dry partially before applying the next, and always use thin coats.
Carefully review and follow the specific instructions for fluorescent, glitter, or chrome colors provided in the product details. These often require precise application methods or specific base/top coats.
