Questions & Answers

Is it better to back this color with black or white?

I'd go with black or gray rather than white.

Will this purple paint match the purple Dodge used on the 1970 Dodge Challenger rc body?

Almost there....

I'd like to use the translucent metallic to paint over silver paint; will it adhere?

Both Tamiya "PS" paints will be 100% compatible if they are from the Tamiya "PS" series. You'll have to experiment to see if different types of paint or brands are compatible.

Is it possible for me to paint on a wooden surface?

It will work if you first seal and prime the wood.

What a lovely color! This is what I used to paint my new Tamiya buggy

5/5

I've painted a lot of RC bodies, and Tamiya paint is the best. When painting lexan, remember that the first couple of coats should be very thin, especially if you're using a metallic color.

This is a lovely painting! When properly prepared, this paint performs admirably

5/5

I used lame flake as a base for this paint job, and it turned out beautifully. Cleaning and scuffing the inside of the body with a scotch brite pad is highly recommended.

Plastics are a dream

5/5

When I raided my husband's model paint stash, I came across this paint. I used it to finish a plastic clock frame and was very pleased with the result. Metallic paints appear to be rich and consistent in appearance. It dries quickly and is long-lasting (unlike other paints, it doesn't scrape or flake off). It's a bit pricey for what you get, but it's well worth the money. I strongly advise using a mask when painting with metallics because the flecks fly everywhere as you work.

The color is nice; it's vibrant and stands out; the only problem is that the spray can is small, and I'm out of it

4/5

I ran out on my third coat, and while some areas of the body may still be translucent, it looks good, which is why I gave it four stars.

Always prepare the body by cleaning it with soapy water and thoroughly rinsing it

5/5

Tamiya is by far the best. It always covers nicely and sets up quickly without bubbling. I've tried other brands and Tamiya is by far the best.

It's lovely

5/5

I used this as a backer over candy green, which looks great, but this purple is stunning, and I almost wish I had painted my truck half-and-half to highlight it.
