Overview
The Fastrax Fast Finish Yellow Glow Spray Paint FAST261 is a premium aerosol paint specifically engineered for polycarbonate (lexan) RC model car bodies. Whether you're building a competitive 1/10th scale racer, a 1/12th scale touring car, or customising your RC car collection, this professional-grade spray paint delivers a superb, dynamic colour finish that can withstand the rigours of model car use. This is the paint of choice for serious RC enthusiasts across the UK who demand both aesthetic excellence and durability from their RC hobby investments.
Fast Finish spray paints are recognised throughout the RC community for their specially blended formula that's designed to work perfectly with flexible polycarbonate bodyshells. Unlike standard lexan paints, Fast Finish provides superior adhesion and colour vibrancy whilst remaining flexible enough to move with the polycarbonate material itself. The bright yellow glow finish offers exceptional visibility on the track, making your RC car stand out whether you're racing at your local club or bashing in the garden. This is the paint that RC enthusiasts trust when they want results that look professional and last through countless races and driving sessions.
One of the most significant advantages of Fast Finish paint that's often overlooked is its remarkable weight efficiency. A painted bodyshell finished with Fast Finish spray paint is typically 10-12g lighter than one painted with conventional lexan paints. This weight saving is a genuine advantage for 1/10th and 1/12th scale RC cars where every gram matters for performance, handling and acceleration. Combined with fuel-resistant properties that make it perfect for nitro RC cars as well as electric models, Fast Finish Yellow Glow represents outstanding value and performance in a single 150ml spray can.
Key Features
- Specially Blended Polycarbonate Formula — This paint is not a generic aerosol; it's engineered specifically for polycarbonate (lexan) RC car bodies with a formula that copes with the material's flexibility and durability demands, ensuring long-lasting colour that won't crack, peel or fade under race conditions.
- Fuel-Resistant Paint Technology — Fast Finish is fuel resistant, making it the perfect choice for both electric RC cars and nitro-powered models, so you can use the same paint regardless of your RC car's power source without worrying about paint degradation from nitro fuel exposure.
- Significant Weight Advantage — This paint typically makes a painted bodyshell 10-12g lighter than one painted with normal lexan paints, which is a real competitive advantage for 1/10th and 1/12th scale RC cars where weight directly affects acceleration, handling characteristics and overall performance.
- Bright Yellow Glow Finish — The vibrant yellow glow colour offers exceptional visibility and track presence, making your RC car highly visible during daytime or under track lighting, which is particularly useful for competitive racing or when tracking your car during high-speed runs.
- Professional Aerosol Application — The 150ml spray can format makes application quick and straightforward, allowing you to achieve an even, professional-quality finish without needing compressors or spray guns, making it accessible to RC enthusiasts of all experience levels.
- Durable Racing Performance — Engineered to withstand the rigours of model car use including track racing, bashings, crashes and extended outdoor use, this paint maintains its finish integrity through real-world RC car activities.
Technical Performance
Fastrax Fast Finish Yellow Glow Spray Paint delivers professional-grade performance in a convenient 150ml aerosol format. The paint is specifically formulated for polycarbonate (lexan) RC car bodies, utilising a specially blended formula that accommodates the inherent flexibility and durability of polycarbonate material in ways that standard paints simply cannot.

The solid colour yellow finish provides consistent, vibrant colour coverage that maintains its appearance through repeated use, cleaning and storage. The fuel-resistant properties ensure compatibility with both electric and nitro RC cars, eliminating the need to purchase different paint products for different power sources. The remarkable weight advantage of 10-12g per painted body compared to conventional lexan paints makes Fast Finish a strategic choice for competitive RC racing where every gram of chassis weight influences acceleration, handling balance and overall lap times. The aerosol delivery system allows for even application and proper paint atomisation, ensuring a professional finish without requiring additional equipment or technical expertise. This is paint engineered by RC enthusiasts for RC enthusiasts, with real understanding of what's needed to keep RC cars looking excellent and performing consistently throughout their operational life.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is Fastrax Fast Finish paint suitable for all RC car types? — Fast Finish paint is specifically designed for polycarbonate (lexan) RC model car bodies, making it ideal for 1/10th scale on-road touring cars, 1/10th and 1/8th scale off-road buggies and trucks, 1/12th scale on-road racers, and any other RC car that uses a lexan bodyshell. It is fuel resistant, so it works equally well with electric and nitro RC cars.
- What colour finishes does Fastrax Fast Finish come in? — The Fast Finish range is available in three finish types: Classic (normal colours like white, red and black, plus metallic finishes such as Spa Silver and Graphite), Neon (ultra-bright fluorescent colours for maximum track visibility), and Special FX (custom looks including Starburst Silver metalflake, Pearl White, and Chameleon paints that change colour depending on viewing angle).
- How much lighter is a bodyshell painted with Fast Finish compared to normal lexan paint? — A polycarbonate RC car body painted with Fast Finish spray paint is typically 10-12g lighter than the same bodyshell painted with conventional lexan paints. For 1/10th and 1/12th scale RC cars where weight is a critical performance factor, this weight saving directly translates to faster acceleration, improved handling and better overall lap times.
- Can I use Fast Finish on nitro-powered RC cars? — Yes, absolutely. Fast Finish is fuel resistant, making it specifically suitable for nitro RC cars as well as electric models. The paint won't degrade or deteriorate when exposed to nitro fuel, so you can paint your bodyshell with confidence whether your RC car is powered by electric motors or nitro engines.
- What is the difference between the Yellow Glow finish and other Fast Finish colours? — Yellow Glow is a bright, highly visible fluorescent colour that falls within the Neon range of Fast Finish paints. The Neon finishes are ultra-bright fluorescent colours designed for maximum visibility on the track. The Classic range covers standard colours and metallics, whilst the Special FX range includes metalflake and chameleon paints for custom appearance.
- Is preparation needed before applying Fast Finish paint? — As with all spray paints, the polycarbonate bodyshell should be clean and free from dust, dirt and contaminants before painting. Standard RC car body preparation involves washing the inside of the shell with warm soapy water, rinsing thoroughly and allowing to dry completely before spraying.
- How long does a 150ml can of Fast Finish paint cover? — A single 150ml aerosol can provides sufficient coverage for multiple bodyshell coats depending on application thickness, shell size and number of colour layers, though most RC enthusiasts find one can is adequate for painting a single 1/10th or 1/8th scale bodyshell with good colour saturation.
