Tamiya 86017 Metallic Green (PS17) is a high-quality spray paint dedicated to painting clear polycarbonate bodies used in remote-controlled (R/C) model cars. Developed by the renowned Japanese company Tamiya, this paint provides excellent coverage and outstanding adhesion to flexible surfaces, especially polycarbonate, from which most racing and rally car bodies for R/C models in various scales such as 1/10, 1/12, or 1/8 are made.

The Metallic Green PS17 paint features an intense, metallic, deep green color that gives the model’s body a realistic and striking gloss. The color reflects light impressively—thanks to the metallic flakes, the surface becomes visually appealing and the final effect looks professional both on the track and at model exhibitions.

Unlike classic model paints, Tamiya’s PS series has been specially designed for flexible polycarbonate bodies. This prevents chipping and cracking of the paint, even with significant deformation of parts—crucial for models used intensively in racing.

• Capacity: 100 ml – sufficient for painting a standard 1/10 scale R/C body with one to two coats.
• Intended use: Car model bodies made of polycarbonate; not recommended for use on other materials.
• Product type: Polycarbonate spray paint – fast and easy application, even coverage.
• Application difficulty: 2/5 – recommended for both beginners and intermediate modelers.
• Category: Modeling accessories and chemicals – paints for R/C bodies.

Why do we recommend Tamiya PS17 Metallic Green? The product stands out for its reliability, durability, and exceptional visual effect. It is the ideal choice for R/C car model enthusiasts who want to give their projects a unique character and professional finish. The paint is especially recommended for those who care about the final effect as well as for those who race their models on tracks or participate in model competitions.

Tamiya 86017 PS17 Metallic Green is perfect both for painting new models and for renovation and personalization of older polycarbonate car bodies.
