About this part

This is a 100ml can of Tamiya PS-16 Metallic Blue Lexan Spray Paint. 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 1/10 scale 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.

Followed a similar process as the first reviewer. Backing it with black really makes the color pop for Subaru kit. I only needed one can for 4 coats on 1/10 scale body.

Needed two cans for an 1/8 scale rally body. started with light coats followed by heavier coats with 15-20 minutes in between, and backed with black. Made for the perfect Subaru blue look.

Tamiya paint is great. Good coverage and sprays evenly. I'm not an experience painter but still can get fantastic results with Tamiya paint.

What reviewers say

Nine reviews, all five-star and all for the 100ml Tamiya PS-16 Metallic Blue Lexan spray paint, with no variant mismatch noted. Reviewers consistently praise the colour, especially its brightness in sunlight and its deep appearance when backed with black, and several describe a Subaru-style blue finish. Application is described as easy, with good coverage and even spraying, and reviewers report usable results even for less experienced painters. Coat count varies: one reviewer used one can for four coats on a 1/10 body, while another needed two cans for an 1/8 rally body using light then heavier coats with 15 to 20 minutes between them. No problems or disagreements are reported. Several reviews are brief, so the evidence is limited to general satisfaction.

  • + Vivid metallic blue colour
  • + Looks good in sunlight
  • + Good coverage and even spray
  • + Easy to apply for beginners
  • − Coverage varies by body size, with some needing two cans
  • − No drawbacks reported
