Overview
The Fastrax Fast Finish Flou Magenta Spray Paint 150ml is a premium aerosol paint system specifically engineered for polycarbonate (lexan) RC model car bodies. Whether you're building a competition-ready 1/10 scale RC buggy, a nimble drift machine, or any other polycarbonate-bodied RC car, this fluorescent magenta paint delivers an eye-catching, dynamic colour finish that stands out on the track or trail. Fast Finish paints are the choice of serious RC hobbyists across the UK who demand both aesthetic excellence and durability that matches the rigours of real RC car use.
What sets Fast Finish apart from standard lexan paints is its specially blended formula that's been developed to work harmoniously with the flexible, durable nature of polycarbonate material itself. This isn't just paint slapped onto plastic—it's a precision coating system that actually understands how lexan behaves. The Flou Magenta variant sits in Fastrax's Neon range, offering an ultra-bright, fluorescent colour for the ultimate in visibility whether you're racing competitively or bashing for fun. If you're serious about making your RC car body look professional-grade, Fast Finish is the paint system trusted by hobbyists and competitors alike.
Beyond its stunning visual appeal, this paint brings tangible performance advantages to your RC car. It's fuel resistant, making it perfect for nitro-powered cars as well as electric models. Perhaps most importantly, Fast Finish is notably lighter than conventional lexan paints, typically adding just 10-12g to your painted body shell compared to 20-25g with standard paints. For 1/10th and 1/12th scale RC cars where every gram of weight matters for acceleration, handling and battery life, this weight saving can be a genuine competitive advantage.
Key Features
- Fluorescent Flou Magenta Colour — This ultra-bright neon magenta finish ensures maximum visibility on the track, making your RC car stand out during races or casual bashers. The vibrant fluorescent pigment catches light dramatically, giving your model that professional, eye-catching appearance that turns heads.
- Specially Formulated for Polycarbonate (Lexan) — Unlike standard RC paints that can crack or peel on flexible lexan bodies, Fast Finish features a specially blended formula designed to flex and move with the polycarbonate material without damage, ensuring long-term durability and protection.
- Fuel Resistant Paint System — This paint stands up to fuel exposure, making it ideal for nitro-powered RC cars. The fuel-resistant chemistry means your paint job won't degrade when exposed to nitro fuel spills or splashes during fuelling and running.
- Lightweight Formula — Fast Finish typically makes a painted body 10-12g lighter than one painted with normal lexan paints. This weight advantage is crucial for 1/10th and 1/12th scale cars where minimising body weight directly improves acceleration, handling response and overall performance.
- Professional Dynamic Finish — The aerosol application delivers a superb, evenly distributed colour finish that looks factory-quality. The paint bonds properly with lexan to create a smooth, durable coat that resists chipping under normal RC car use.
- 150ml Spray Can Format — The 150ml aerosol size provides adequate coverage for complete RC model car bodies, and the pressurised spray format ensures consistent, even application without the need for additional spraying equipment.
Technical Performance
Fast Finish Flou Magenta Spray Paint represents the pinnacle of RC-specific paint engineering. The paint is manufactured by Fastrax, a respected brand in the RC hobby, and comes in a convenient 150ml aerosol can. The formulation is specifically calibrated for polycarbonate lexan bodies, which require a different paint chemistry than standard plastic or metal surfaces due to lexan's inherent flexibility and chemical composition. Traditional automotive or model paints can crack on lexan as the material flexes during high-speed running and impacts, but Fast Finish's specially blended formula moves with the polycarbonate, maintaining adhesion and finish integrity. The Flou Magenta variant belongs to the Neon paint range, featuring ultra-bright fluorescent pigments that reflect and absorb light to create maximum visibility. This is particularly valuable in competitive racing environments where visibility can affect spotting your car on course, or in casual bashing where the bright magenta makes photo and video footage of your RC car more dynamic and professional-looking. The fuel-resistant chemistry is a critical performance feature for nitro-powered cars, as it prevents degradation from contact with nitro fuel. Weight is perhaps the most overlooked but genuinely impactful aspect of Fast Finish—by reducing paint weight by 10-12g compared to standard lexan paints, the system gives 1/10th and 1/12th scale cars measurable advantages in acceleration and handling. This weight saving comes from the optimised solvent blend and pigment loading, which delivers colour saturation without the heavy carrier materials found in heavier paints.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is Fastrax Fast Finish paint designed for? — Fast Finish is specifically designed for polycarbonate (lexan) RC model car bodies. It features a specially blended formula that flexes with the polycarbonate material without cracking or peeling, unlike standard paints that can fail on lexan. This makes it the correct choice for any RC car with a polycarbonate body shell.
- Is this paint suitable for nitro-powered RC cars? — Yes, absolutely. Fast Finish is fuel resistant, making it perfect for nitro-powered cars. The fuel-resistant chemistry prevents the paint from degrading when exposed to nitro fuel during fuelling, running and storage. This is a significant advantage over standard automotive or model paints.
- How much weight does this paint add to my RC body? — Fast Finish typically adds only 10-12g to your painted body shell, compared to 20-25g with standard lexan paints. This weight saving is particularly valuable for 1/10th and 1/12th scale cars where minimising weight improves acceleration and handling performance.
- What colour finish options does Fastrax Fast Finish come in? — Fast Finish is available in three different finish ranges: Classic (standard colours like white, red and black, plus metallics like Spa Silver and Graphite), Neon (ultra-bright fluorescent colours for maximum visibility, including this Flou Magenta), and Special FX (including Starburst Silver metalflake, Pearl White, and Chameleon colour-shifting paints).
- Why is this paint better than regular spray paint for RC cars? — This paint is engineered specifically for the unique demands of RC car bodies. Polycarbonate lexan is inherently flexible and chemical-resistant, requiring a specially formulated paint that can flex with it without cracking. Additionally, Fast Finish weighs less than standard paints, delivers professional colour saturation, and offers fuel resistance for nitro cars—features you simply won't get from generic spray paints.
- Will this paint damage my lexan body shell? — No, Fast Finish is formulated to be safe for polycarbonate lexan. The paint bonds properly with lexan without causing the material to become brittle, cloudy or damaged. Standard paints can sometimes cause chemical damage to lexan, but Fast Finish is specifically designed to avoid this problem.
