Product Information

Full details

The Tamiya TS7 Racing White spray paint is ideal for hobbyists looking to quickly and effectively paint large model surfaces, especially plastic car bodies. Its synthetic lacquer formula cures rapidly and is compatible with subsequent detailing using acrylic or enamel paints. However, it is crucial to note that this paint is not suitable for use on clear Polycarbonate (LEXAN) R/C car bodies, as it will cause flaking; for those applications, Tamiya PS spray paint should be used instead.

FAQs

What is the best way to apply Tamiya TS7 paint?

Shake the can well, hold it about 20-30 cm away from the plastic surface, and apply in light, even, overlapping strokes in a well-ventilated area.

Can I use Tamiya TS7 on R/C car bodies?

Only on plastic R/C bodies. It is NOT suitable for clear Polycarbonate (LEXAN) R/C bodies. For those, use Tamiya PS spray paint.

How long does it take for the paint to dry?

Tamiya TS paints cure rapidly. It is touch-dry in a short period, allowing for a second coat within minutes. For detailed work or handling, allow at least an hour, or longer for full hardness.

Can I paint over Tamiya TS7 with other types of paint?

Yes, Tamiya TS paints are not affected by acrylic or enamel paints. You can add details or other colors using these types of paints after the TS7 has cured.

How much area can one can cover?

One 100ml can is generally sufficient to fully cover 2 to 3 model car bodies in 1/24 scale.

What should I do if the spray nozzle clogs?

Turn the can upside down and spray for a few seconds to clear the nozzle. If it remains clogged, carefully remove the nozzle and soak it in Tamiya lacquer thinner.

Is this paint suitable for metal surfaces?

While it adheres best to plastic, it may adhere to other primed surfaces. However, it is specifically formulated and recommended for plastic model kits.

Troubleshooting

Uneven spray or splattering

Shake the can more vigorously. Ensure the nozzle is clean and the paint is at room temperature. Apply in lighter coats from the recommended distance.

Paint not adhering or flaking

Ensure the surface is properly prepared (clean, dry, free of grease). If applied to incompatible materials like Polycarbonate, this issue will occur. Re-prime and repaint with appropriate paint.

Nozzle clogged

Invert can and spray to clear. If still clogged, carefully remove the nozzle and soak it in Tamiya lacquer thinner or a similar suitable solvent. Clean thoroughly before reattaching.

Runs or drips forming

The paint is likely being applied too thickly or from too close a distance. Allow the coat to dry and carefully sand down the runs before applying thin, even coats.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the model surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease.
  2. Shake the can vigorously for at least one minute after the mixing ball begins to rattle.
  3. Apply in a well-ventilated area, preferably outdoors or in a spray booth.
  4. Hold the can upright, approximately 20-30 cm away from the surface.
  5. Apply in light, even strokes, moving the can horizontally or vertically.
  6. Allow adequate drying time between coats.

Compatibility:

  • Suitable Materials: Primarily designed for plastic model kits.
  • Incompatible Materials: NOT suitable for clear Polycarbonate (LEXAN) R/C body shells. Use Tamiya PS spray paints for these applications.
  • Paint Layering: Compatible with Tamiya acrylic and enamel paints applied *after* the TS paint has cured.

Care:

  • Storage: Store cans in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
  • Cleaning: Clean the spray nozzle immediately after use by inverting the can and spraying for a few seconds until clear propellant emerges. If the nozzle becomes clogged, it can be removed and soaked in thinner (ensure thinner is compatible with lacquers).
  • Disposal: Dispose of empty cans according to local regulations for aerosol products.
