Technical Performance

The Fastrax Fast Finish Candy Ice Dark Blue Spray Paint 150ml is engineered using proprietary fast-drying technology specifically formulated for RC model applications. The aerosol canister delivers consistent pressure and atomisation across the entire can life, ensuring even colour distribution and uniform coverage on plastic RC body shells and composite components. The paint formulation includes advanced binders and resins that promote excellent adhesion to polycarbonate, ABS plastic, and fibreglass materials commonly used in RC car construction, preventing chipping, peeling, or colour degradation even under the stress of high-speed bashing and competitive racing. The candy ice dark blue shade is achieved through a multi-layer colour system where transparent pigments create depth and luminosity, requiring proper primer application underneath to achieve optimal colour saturation and finish quality. The fast-drying characteristic means that within minutes of application, the paint reaches a workable state allowing secondary coats, and within hours achieves a hard, protective finish suitable for handling and display. This paint is compatible with standard RC masking techniques, allowing detailed multi-colour designs and customisation work. The 150ml volume is sufficient for most single RC body shells when applied in 2-3 coats, and the propellant system maintains consistent spray pressure from the first application to the last drop, essential for professional-looking results on precision RC models.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Will Fastrax Fast Finish Candy Ice Dark Blue paint work on my polycarbonate RC body shell? — Yes, this paint is specifically engineered for RC polycarbonate and plastic body shells. Polycarbonate is the standard material for RC car bodies across the UK, and Fastrax Fast Finish provides excellent adhesion and colour vibrancy on this material. For best results, apply a polycarbonate primer first to maximise colour depth and finish quality.
• How many RC body shells can I paint with one 150ml canister? — A single 150ml canister will typically paint one complete RC car body shell in 2-3 coats, which is the standard application for achieving optimal colour saturation with candy finishes. If you're painting smaller components or doing touch-up work, one canister may be sufficient for multiple projects.
• How long does the fast-drying formula take to dry between coats? — Fastrax Fast Finish paint dries to the touch within minutes, allowing you to apply secondary coats within 10-15 minutes of the first application in normal room temperature conditions. Full cure time for a hard, durable finish typically occurs within 2-4 hours, though you can handle your RC body shell carefully after 30 minutes.
• Is this suitable for RC beginners? — Absolutely. The aerosol spray format makes Fastrax Fast Finish accessible to RC hobbyists of all experience levels. Beginners can achieve professional-looking results by following simple preparation steps: masking off areas you don't want painted, applying the paint in light, even coats, and allowing adequate drying time between applications. We recommend watching technique guides before your first application.
• What is the difference between Fastrax Fast Finish and standard spray paint? — Fastrax Fast Finish is specifically formulated for RC model applications with optimised adhesion to polycarbonate and plastic, fast-drying technology, and colour consistency engineered for small-scale models. Standard hardware store spray paints may not adhere properly to RC materials and often contain solvents that can damage polycarbonate body shells, making Fastrax the safer, more reliable choice for RC car customisation.
• Do I need primer before applying Candy Ice Dark Blue? — While not absolutely essential, applying a primer first significantly improves colour saturation and adhesion, especially with candy finishes which benefit from a solid base layer. Fastrax primer products are recommended as they're engineered to work seamlessly with Fast Finish paints and enhance the final candy ice dark blue appearance.
• Can I use this paint on RC truck bodies and RC crawler shells? — Yes, this paint works on any RC vehicle body shell including RC monster truck bodies, RC buggy shells, RC crawler bodies, RC truggy shells, and scale rock crawler bodies. The formulation is universal across all RC body types and materials.
