Overview
The Fastrax Fast Finish Red Fire Spray Paint 150ml is a premium aerosol paint specifically engineered for polycarbonate (lexan) RC car bodies, delivering a superb dynamic colour finish whilst withstanding the rigours of competitive and recreational model car use. Whether you're customising a 1/10 scale buggy, preparing a 1/12 scale racer, or working on any RC car UK enthusiasts favour, this specially formulated paint offers performance benefits that standard lexan paints simply cannot match. The Red Fire finish from the Classic range provides a stunning, vibrant red colour that stands out on the track and looks exceptional under natural light and racing conditions.
What sets Fast Finish apart in the RC hobby market is its clever engineering designed specifically for the unique demands of polycarbonate bodywork. Because lexan material is inherently flexible and durable, it requires a specially blended paint formula that can flex with the body without cracking or peeling during aggressive driving, impacts, and vibration. Fast Finish achieves this whilst also delivering fuel resistance, making it perfect for nitro cars as well as electric powered RC vehicles. This versatility makes it an ideal choice whether you're running a fuel-powered engine or modern brushless RC cars.
One often-overlooked advantage of Fast Finish paint is its exceptional lightness on the bodyshell. Compared to normal lexan paints, a Fast Finish-painted body typically weighs 10-12g less, which can be a genuine performance advantage in 1/10th and 1/12th scale racing where every gram counts towards handling, acceleration, and overall performance. For serious racers and weight-conscious builders, this weight saving can make a measurable difference in lap times and competitive results.
Key Features
- Specially Formulated for Polycarbonate Bodywork — This paint is engineered with a unique blend specifically designed to adhere to and flex with polycarbonate (lexan) material, ensuring durability and longevity that standard paints cannot provide. The formula copes with the inherent flexibility of lexan, preventing cracking and peeling during use.
- Fuel Resistant Formula — The paint is fuel resistant, making it compatible with both electric and nitro-powered RC cars, giving you flexibility in your model car choice without needing different paint products for different powertrains.
- Weight Advantage — Fast Finish paint makes a painted body approximately 10-12g lighter than bodywork painted with conventional lexan paints, providing a significant weight saving that benefits acceleration, handling and overall performance in 1/10th and 1/12th scale racing applications.
- Vibrant Red Fire Classic Colour — The Red Fire finish provides a striking, dynamic red colour that delivers excellent visibility on the track and looks stunning on finished RC car bodies, making your model stand out during racing events and casual driving sessions.
- Premium Dynamic Finish — The paint delivers not only excellent colour coverage but a professional-quality, dynamic appearance that enhances the visual appeal of your RC car bodywork, giving it a finished, high-quality look.
- 150ml Aerosol Can — The 150ml spray format provides sufficient coverage for most RC car bodies whilst remaining portable and easy to apply, with controlled spray patterns ideal for detailed painting work on small-scale model components.
Technical Performance
The Fastrax Fast Finish Red Fire Spray Paint represents a significant engineering achievement in RC hobby paints. The formulation has been specifically developed to address the unique challenges posed by polycarbonate lexan bodywork, which is prized in the RC car hobby for its durability and flexibility but requires paint that can move with the material without failure. The specially blended formula achieves this flexibility whilst maintaining adhesion, preventing the paint from cracking, peeling or flaking off during aggressive RC car use, high-speed racing, or minor impacts and scrapes. The fuel resistance built into the paint formula extends compatibility across both electric RC vehicles and nitro-powered cars, offering genuine versatility for hobbyists who may transition between different powertrains or maintain multiple vehicles. The weight characteristics of Fast Finish paint are particularly noteworthy: the paint adds only minimal mass to a finished bodyshell, typically resulting in a 10-12g weight advantage compared to conventional lexan paints. This seemingly modest saving can translate into meaningful performance improvements in competitive 1/10th scale and 1/12th scale racing environments where weight distribution and overall vehicle mass directly influence acceleration, braking distance, cornering grip and overall lap times. The 150ml spray container provides a manageable volume suitable for painting complete RC car bodies with good coverage whilst remaining cost-effective for hobbyists.
