Overview
The Fastrax Fast Finish Rally Blue Spray Paint 150ML is a premium aerosol paint specifically engineered for polycarbonate (lexan) RC model car bodies. Whether you're building a competition-grade RC buggy, upgrading your RC car UK collection, or customising a ready to run RC vehicle, this professional-grade paint delivers a superb, dynamic colour finish that withstands the rigours of intensive model car use. Fast Finish is the preferred choice of serious RC enthusiasts and racers who demand both aesthetic excellence and proven durability on the track.
This 150ml spray paint is part of the acclaimed Fast Finish range, which has earned recognition throughout the RC hobby for its exceptional performance on polycarbonate bodyshells. The paint is available in three distinct finishes: Classic (featuring standard and metallic colours), Neon (ultra-bright fluorescent shades), and Special FX (custom finishes including metalflake and chameleon effects). The Rally Blue shade sits within the Classic range, offering a striking, professional-quality blue finish that enhances the visual impact of your RC model whilst maintaining the structural integrity of the lexan body.
What sets Fast Finish apart from conventional RC car paints is its specially blended formula that respects the flexibility and durability of polycarbonate materials. Unlike standard lexan paints, Fast Finish is fuel resistant, making it the ideal choice for nitro RC cars as well as electric models. Most importantly, this innovative paint is approximately 10-12g lighter than conventional lexan paints when applied to a bodyshell, providing a genuine weight advantage that can make a real difference to performance in 1/10th and 1/12th scale RC racing where every gram counts.
Key Features
- Specially Formulated for Polycarbonate Bodies — The paint uses a specially blended formula that has been engineered to work with the flexible, durable nature of polycarbonate (lexan) RC car bodyshells, ensuring the paint adheres properly and flexes with the material without cracking or peeling during intense use.
- Fuel Resistant Formula — Fast Finish is fuel resistant, making it perfectly suited for use on nitro-powered RC cars as well as electric models, protecting your painted bodyshell from fuel degradation and extending the life of your custom paint job.
- Lightweight Paint Application — A key advantage of Fast Finish paint is that it adds only minimal weight to your RC body, making a painted shell approximately 10-12g lighter than one painted with standard lexan paints, which is a significant benefit for competitive 1/10th and 1/12th scale RC racing where weight directly impacts performance and acceleration.
- Dynamic Rally Blue Colour — The Rally Blue shade provides a striking, professional-quality finish that gives your RC model visual impact on the track whilst maintaining the premium look that serious racers demand.
- 150ml Spray Format — The convenient 150ml aerosol spray format allows for easy, even application without the need for additional equipment, making it accessible to RC enthusiasts of all experience levels.
- Professional Track Performance — Engineered to withstand the rigours of model car use, Fast Finish delivers a superb finish that maintains its appearance through regular racing, bashing, and competitive use.
Technical Performance
Fast Finish Rally Blue represents the pinnacle of RC-specific paint engineering. The formula has been meticulously developed to work with polycarbonate materials, which require a fundamentally different approach to paint adhesion than plastic or resin bodies. Traditional lexan paints simply do not perform adequately on flexible polycarbonate bodyshells, often cracking, peeling, or flaking during use. Fast Finish solves this problem through its specially blended paint chemistry that accommodates the natural flex and movement of the bodyshell whilst maintaining excellent colour vibrancy and durability. The fuel-resistant properties mean that nitro RC cars can be painted with confidence — the paint will not degrade or discolour when exposed to nitro fuel during refuelling, maintenance, or accidental spills. In practical terms, a single 150ml can provides sufficient coverage for a typical RC car bodyshell, with enough paint left over for touch-ups and repairs. The weight advantage of Fast Finish over standard lexan paints is measurable and meaningful: a difference of 10-12 grams on a 1/10th scale RC buggy or 1/12th scale touring car can noticeably improve acceleration, handling characteristics, and lap times in competitive racing. The aerosol spray application method ensures even, consistent coverage across the entire bodyshell surface, delivering professional results without the need for spray equipment or compressed air systems.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is Fastrax Fast Finish Rally Blue suitable for all types of RC car bodies? — Fast Finish is specifically formulated for polycarbonate (lexan) RC car bodies, which are the standard choice for most RC buggies, touring cars, and competition models. It is not recommended for plastic or resin bodies, as these require different paint formulations. Always ensure you are painting a genuine polycarbonate bodyshell to achieve the best results.
- Can I use Fast Finish paint on nitro-powered RC cars? — Yes, this is one of the key advantages of Fast Finish. The paint is fuel resistant, making it ideal for nitro RC cars where traditional paints might degrade or discolour when exposed to nitro fuel. This makes Fast Finish the preferred choice for serious nitro racers in the UK and internationally.
- How much weight does Fast Finish add to my RC bodyshell compared to standard lexan paint? — Fast Finish is significantly lighter than conventional lexan paints, typically adding only 10-12g less weight to a painted bodyshell compared to standard paints. This weight advantage is particularly valuable in 1/10th and 1/12th scale RC racing where every gram affects performance, acceleration, and lap times.
- What colour options are available in the Fast Finish range? — Fast Finish comes in three finish categories: Classic (standard colours like white, red, and black, plus metallics such as 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-shifting paints).
- Can I create custom paint designs by layering Fast Finish colours? — Yes, the Special FX range enables advanced customisation. Starburst Silver and Pearl White feature transparent carriers that create coarse and fine metallic effects respectively, allowing you to spray them first as a base and then apply another colour on top for a solid, sparkling finish. The Chameleon paints actually shift colour depending on the viewing angle, creating an eye-catching custom look.
- How should I apply Fast Finish spray paint for best results? — Use light, even coats in a well-ventilated area, holding the can approximately 15-20cm from the bodyshell. Multiple thin coats will provide better coverage and appearance than one heavy coat. Allow drying time between coats as recommended on the can instructions.
- Is Fast Finish available in other colours besides Rally Blue? — Yes, Rally Blue is just one colour option in the Fast Finish Classic range. The full range includes numerous standard colours, metallics, neon fluorescents, and special effects finishes, allowing you to create virtually any custom RC car colour scheme you can imagine.
