FAQs
Can I use this on a Lexan R/C body?
No, this paint is not formulated for Lexan/polycarbonate and will not adhere properly or provide the desired finish.
How many coats should I apply?
Generally, two thin, even coats are sufficient for full coverage; always let the first coat dry for at least 15-20 minutes before applying the second.
Is this paint acrylic or enamel?
It is a synthetic lacquer, which dries faster and creates a harder shell than standard hobby acrylics or enamels.
Can I paint over this with acrylic paints?
Yes, once the TS-70 base coat is fully cured, it serves as an excellent foundation for acrylic weathering and detail paints.
Does it need a primer?
While it can be applied directly to plastic, using a primer will improve adhesion and help highlight surface imperfections before you apply the final color.
Troubleshooting
Paint is appearing sandy or rough on the model surface.
You are likely spraying from too far away; move the can closer to the surface or ensure you are working in lower temperatures/humidity.
Paint is running or sagging.
You are applying too much paint in a single pass; use thinner, lighter coats and allow for more drying time between layers.
The nozzle is clogged or sputtering.
Invert the can and spray for a second to clear the nozzle, or clean the tip with a cotton swab dampened with lacquer thinner.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Quick drying time minimizes downtime between coats.
- Superior coverage on large surface areas.
- Compatible with a wide range of top-coat products like acrylics or enamels.
- Durable finish suitable for handling.
Cons
- Not suitable for clear polycarbonate (LEXAN) surfaces.
- Requires well-ventilated areas due to aerosol solvents.
- Requires proper masking to avoid overspray on detailed parts.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Always shake the can vigorously for at least one minute before use to ensure the pigment and propellant are properly mixed. Perform a test spray on a plastic spoon or scrap material to check the nozzle pressure.
Compatibility Note: This paint is intended for plastic model kits. Do not attempt to use it on clear polycarbonate shells, as the chemical composition will not adhere and may damage the material. For care and maintenance, store the can in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. If the nozzle clogs, it can typically be cleared by wiping the tip with a cloth dipped in lacquer thinner or by replacing the nozzle.
