PS18 Metallic Purple Spray

Tamiya PS-18 Metallic Purple Spray (100 ml)

An aerosol lacquer spray from the PS range for polycarbonate (Lexan) bodies of RC models. A striking metallic purple with fine metal particles that give the finish a rich depth. The coat stays flexible, so it does not crack on a pliable Lexan body, and it dries quickly.

Use

• It is applied from the back (inner) side of the clear body, so the glossy surface is protected by the plastic.
• Shake the metallic paint thoroughly before spraying - the pigment settles to the bottom.
• Apply it in thin coats; the rich purple comes out best if you back it with an opaque (often silver or white) coat.
• Apply the metallic coat at the end - it is hard to overspray and to mask.

Who it is for

For modelers of RC cars who want a striking, premium-looking metallic shade, and for decorative areas on other models as well.

The PS range is developed for polycarbonate and Lexan. Apply it to ordinary polystyrene with care - lacquer chemistry can etch thin plastic; test it on an offcut first. Flammable, use with good ventilation away from sources of fire.
