These spray paints were developed especially for decorating transparent polycarbonate bodies used in R/C car modeling. Each can contains 100ml of paint, which is the appropriate amount for finishing one complete model.

Painting polycarbonate bodies is done from the inside of the body shell as opposed to the outside of a traditional plastic model. When spraying body from the inside, keep the can about 30cm from the surface. After curing apply another coat as necessary. These paints are impervious to oil and fuels, so they can be safely used on gas-powered R/C bodies.

Warning: Never use these paints on plastic models.

I personally use this paint for three different jobs. One is to make it look like you have working wipers, by masking off windscreen wiper areas on the windscreen and spraying this to the rest of the windscreen (looks great!). Second is to flatten down the glossy shiny effect of the lexan by spraying the exterior of the lexan after painting the interior. The third is to give the lexan a base coat, so I can then use acrylic paints and paints not compatible with lexan to add fine detail etc... Probably the most versatile spray paint there is!

I would like to ask you if it's better to paint with ps 55 on the inside before the base color or on the outside of the body after the base color?

All PS paints should normally be applied on the inside.

You can use PS-55 on the outside to provide a matt effect though if you wish

If this is used on the outside of the body is it safe to spray over decals?
Asked by Si Nash on 4th October 2021

Yes this will be fine , do a thin coat first then build up the laters so the decal does not crease or shrink.
