Overview
The Fastrax Fast Finish Cosmic Glo Yellow Spray Paint is a professional-grade aerosol paint specifically formulated for polycarbonate (lexan) RC car bodies. This 150ml can delivers a stunning, dynamic cosmic glo yellow finish that not only looks superb but is engineered to withstand the demanding rigours of RC model car use. Whether you're building a custom RC car in the UK or refreshing an existing body, this specialist paint offers performance and aesthetics in one convenient spray can.
Fast Finish paints are designed exclusively for the unique demands of polycarbonate bodywork, which requires a specially blended paint formula that normal lexan paints simply cannot match. The paint is fuel resistant, making it perfect for nitro cars as well as electric models, ensuring compatibility across the full spectrum of RC car types. If you're looking for RC car paint that delivers professional results without the weight penalty, this is the answer.
One often-overlooked advantage of Fast Finish paint is its lightweight formulation. A polycarbonate body painted with Fast Finish is typically 10-12g lighter than one painted with normal lexan paints — a real advantage for 1/10th and 1/12th scale cars where weight management is always a critical issue. This weight saving can make a genuine difference to performance and handling on the track.

Technical Performance
The Fastrax Fast Finish Cosmic Glo Yellow paint is engineered with a specialist formulation that addresses the unique challenges of painting polycarbonate RC car bodies. Polycarbonate material is inherently flexible and durable, characteristics that demand a paint specifically blended to maintain adhesion and durability under the stresses of RC car operation. Standard lexan paints lack this specialised formula and tend to crack, peel, or fail when subjected to the impacts, vibrations, and flexing that occurs during track use or bashing. Fast Finish solves this problem entirely. The paint's fuel-resistant properties are particularly valuable for nitro RC car owners, as the paint will not degrade or become sticky when exposed to nitro fuel vapours or direct contact. The lightweight nature of the paint is a genuine performance advantage; at only 10-12g heavier than an unpainted body (compared to 20-30g or more with conventional paints), this formulation allows 1/10th and 1/12th scale racers to keep their vehicles lighter and more responsive. The aerosol delivery system ensures consistent application and fast drying times, reducing the time between painting and use. This paint is available in three distinct finish families: Classic (for traditional colours like white, red, black and metallics such as Spa Silver and Graphite), Neon (ultra-bright fluorescent colours for maximum track visibility), and Special FX (including exotic finishes like Starburst Silver metalflake, Pearl White, and Chameleon paints that shift colour depending on viewing angle).

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is Fast Finish paint designed for? — Fast Finish is specifically formulated for polycarbonate (lexan) RC car bodies. It is not suitable for metal, wood, or plastic bodies of other types. The specialist blend ensures the paint adheres properly to flexible polycarbonate and resists cracking and peeling during aggressive RC car use.
- Is this paint suitable for nitro RC cars? — Yes, absolutely. Fast Finish paint is fuel resistant, making it ideal for nitro-powered RC cars. The formula will not degrade, become sticky, or fail when exposed to nitro fuel or fuel vapours, unlike standard paints.
- How much weight does Fast Finish add to a body? — A polycarbonate body painted with Fast Finish typically weighs only 10-12g more than an unpainted body. This is significantly lighter than standard lexan paints, which can add 20-30g or more. This weight saving is a genuine advantage for competitive 1/10th and 1/12th scale RC racers.
- What are the different finish options available? — Fast Finish is available in three finish families: Classic (standard colours and metallics like Spa Silver and Graphite), Neon (ultra-bright fluorescent colours for maximum visibility), and Special FX (including Starburst Silver metalflake, Pearl White, and Chameleon colour-shifting paints).
- Can I apply Fast Finish over other paints? — For best results, Fast Finish should be applied to clean, unpainted polycarbonate or previously painted polycarbonate that has been properly prepared. If using Special FX finishes like Starburst Silver or Pearl White, these are designed as transparent carriers with metalflake or fine particles — you should spray these first as a base, then back them with another colour to create a solid, sparkling finish.
- Is this paint suitable for beginners? — Yes. The aerosol spray format makes application straightforward for hobbyists of all experience levels. Simply follow standard spray painting practices: apply light coats, maintain even distance from the body, and allow proper drying time between coats. No special equipment or mixing is required.
- How does Cosmic Glo Yellow compare to other colours? — Cosmic Glo Yellow is part of the Special FX paint range, offering a custom appearance that stands out on the track. It provides exceptional visibility and a distinctive look compared to the Classic and Neon ranges.
