FAQs
Can I use Tamiya TS-06 Matt Black on plastic model kits?
Yes, Tamiya TS spray paints are specifically designed for use on most standard plastic model kits.
Is this paint suitable for RC car bodies?
This TS series paint is not suitable for clear Polycarbonate/LEXAN R/C body shells. For those, please use Tamiya PS spray paints.
How many model kits can one can cover?
One 100ml can is typically enough to fully cover the bodies of 2 to 3, 1/24 scale model cars.
Can I paint over Tamiya TS-06 Matt Black with acrylics or enamels?
Yes, Tamiya TS paints are not affected by acrylic or enamel paints, allowing you to add details or weathering after the base coat has dried.
What is the best way to apply the paint?
Shake the can well and apply in light, even coats from approximately 20-30 cm away in a well-ventilated area.
How do I clean the spray nozzle after use?
Invert the can and spray for a few seconds until only clear propellant is released. If clogged, remove the nozzle and clean it with a suitable solvent.
What kind of finish does TS-06 provide?
TS-06 provides a matt, non-reflective finish.
Troubleshooting
Uneven paint application or "orange peel" effect
Ensure the can is shaken adequately and held at the correct distance. Apply in light, even coats rather than one thick coat. Reduce spray pressure slightly if using an airbrush adapter.
Paint not drying or remaining tacky
Check environmental conditions; high humidity or low temperatures can affect drying times. Ensure the surface was properly cleaned and prepared before painting.
Nozzle clog
Clear the nozzle by inverting the can and spraying until clear propellant comes out. If clogged, gently remove the nozzle and soak it in a suitable cleaner like Tamiya Laquer Thinner, then rinse and dry thoroughly before reattaching.
Paint flaking off polycarbonate (Lexan) bodies
This paint is not designed for polycarbonate. Use Tamiya PS spray paints specifically formulated for this material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the model surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. For best results, apply in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight and high humidity. Shake the can vigorously for at least one minute after the mixing ball begins to rattle. Hold the can approximately 20-30 cm (8-12 inches) from the surface.
Compatibility: Tamiya TS spray paints are designed for use on most standard plastic model kits. They are *not* compatible with clear Polycarbonate/LEXAN R/C body shells, as the solvents can cause the plastic to become brittle or warp. For polycarbonate, use Tamiya PS spray paints instead. TS paints are not affected by subsequent applications of Tamiya acrylic or enamel paints.
Care: Store the can upright in a cool, dry place. After use, clear the nozzle by inverting the can and spraying for a few seconds until only clear propellant emerges. Clean any accidental spills immediately with a suitable solvent before the paint fully cures.
