Fastrax Fast Finish Blue Green Spray Paint 150ml Polycarbonate RC Body FAST287

Overview

The Fastrax Fast Finish Blue/Green Spray Paint 150ml (FAST287) is a professional-grade aerosol paint specifically formulated for polycarbonate (lexan) RC car bodies. Whether you're customising your RC car UK setup or refreshing a well-used bodyshell, this spray paint delivers a superb, dynamic colour finish that can withstand the rigours of competitive and recreational model car use. The Blue/Green colour option offers excellent visibility on the track whilst maintaining aesthetic appeal, making it an ideal choice for racers and bashers alike.

What sets Fast Finish apart from standard RC spray paints is its specialised formula designed to work with the unique properties of polycarbonate material. Unlike traditional lexan paints that can crack or chip under the stress of repeated impacts and flexing, Fast Finish has been engineered to move with your bodyshell, providing a durable finish that endures the demands of nitro cars, electric RC vehicles, and everything in between. The paint is fuel resistant, making it the perfect choice for nitro RC car enthusiasts who need a paint that won't degrade when exposed to nitromethane fuel.

For competitors focused on weight reduction in 1/10th and 1/12th scale cars, Fast Finish offers a remarkable advantage: a painted body typically weighs 10-12g less than one painted with normal lexan paints. In the world of RC racing where every gram matters, this weight saving can provide a genuine performance benefit, improving acceleration and handling characteristics. The 150ml can size makes it ideal for single bodyshell projects or touch-ups, offering excellent value for money.

Key Features

• Polycarbonate-Specific Formula — Specially blended to work with flexible, durable polycarbonate (lexan) bodyshells, this paint adheres properly whilst allowing the material to flex without cracking or peeling, something standard paints simply cannot achieve.
• Fuel Resistant Paint — The Fast Finish formula resists nitromethane fuel, making it perfect for nitro RC cars where fuel contact with the body is inevitable during refuelling and operation.
• Lightweight Finish — A painted Fast Finish body is typically 10-12g lighter than one painted with conventional lexan paints, providing meaningful weight reduction for 1/10th and 1/12th scale RC cars where lower weight improves performance and handling.
• Dynamic Colour Finish — The Blue/Green colour option delivers excellent visual impact and track visibility, helping your RC model stand out on the course or at the track.
• Durable and Impact Resistant — Engineered to withstand the physical demands of RC car use including impacts, crashes, and sustained track use without chipping, cracking or fading prematurely.
• 150ml Capacity — The 150ml aerosol can provides sufficient paint for a complete bodyshell or multiple touch-up applications, offering excellent value and easy storage.
• Professional Application — Spray application ensures smooth, even coverage and a professional factory-quality finish impossible to achieve with brush application.

Technical Performance

The Fastrax Fast Finish spray paint represents a significant advancement in RC paint technology, specifically engineered to meet the unique requirements of polycarbonate bodyshells used across all scales of RC cars. The specially formulated aerosol paint combines superior adhesion with the flexibility required by lexan materials, preventing the common problems of cracking, peeling and chipping that occur when standard automotive or hobby paints are applied to polycarbonate bodies. The fuel-resistant properties are particularly important for nitro RC car owners, as traditional paints degrade and discolour when exposed to nitromethane fuel during refuelling and operation. The weight advantage — approximately 10-12g lighter than conventional lexan paints — is a genuine performance benefit for competitive racers, particularly in 1/10th and 1/12th scale classes where weight distribution critically affects acceleration, braking and cornering performance. The paint is available in multiple finish options including Classic, Neon and Special FX ranges, with the Blue/Green colour sitting within the core colour selection. Application is straightforward using the integrated spray nozzle, and the 150ml capacity provides ample coverage for single or multiple bodyshell projects. The aerosol format ensures even distribution and professional results compared to brush application, though proper ventilation and masking techniques are recommended for best results.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is Fastrax Fast Finish suitable for polycarbonate RC car bodies? — Yes, absolutely. This paint is specifically formulated for polycarbonate (lexan) bodyshells and is designed to flex with the material without cracking or peeling, unlike standard paints that are not engineered for lexan's unique properties.
• Can I use this paint on my nitro RC car? — Yes, this is one of the key advantages of Fast Finish. The paint is fuel resistant, making it perfect for nitro RC cars where the body comes into contact with nitromethane fuel during refuelling and operation. Standard paints will degrade when exposed to fuel.
• How much weight will the paint add to my RC bodyshell? — A significant benefit of Fast Finish is that a painted body typically weighs approximately 10-12g less than one painted with normal lexan paints. This weight reduction is particularly valuable for 1/10th and 1/12th scale competitive RC cars where every gram affects performance.
• What colour options are available in the Fast Finish range? — Fast Finish is available in three finish ranges: Classic (standard colours including white, red, black, plus metallic options like Spa Silver and Graphite), Neon (ultra-bright fluorescent colours for maximum track visibility), and Special FX (custom finishes including Starburst Silver metalflake, Pearl White, and Chameleon colour-shift paints).
• How do I apply the paint for best results? — The aerosol spray format ensures professional, even coverage. For best results, apply in thin, even coats in a well-ventilated area, following standard spray paint safety practices. Allow proper drying time between coats and use masking tape to protect areas you don't want painted.
• Is this paint suitable for both electric and nitro RC cars? — Yes, this paint works on both electric and nitro RC vehicles. The fuel resistance is particularly beneficial for nitro cars, but the durable, lightweight formula performs excellently on electric RC cars as well.
• How long does a 150ml can last? — A single 150ml can is typically sufficient for painting one complete RC bodyshell with multiple coats, or for touch-up work on multiple bodies over time. Coverage depends on application technique and number of coats applied.
