Key Features

• Specially Formulated for Polycarbonate — Unlike generic spray paints, Fast Finish is specifically blended to bond with lexan polycarbonate material, ensuring the paint adheres properly and doesn't crack or peel as the flexible bodyshell flexes during high-speed RC use.
• Cosmic Glo Orange Special FX Finish — This is part of the exclusive Special FX paint range, designed for those who want to achieve a custom, standout look on their RC car body that truly makes a visual impact on the track or at the bash spot.
• Fuel Resistant Formula — A critical feature for nitro RC car owners, the fuel-resistant paint formulation means it will not degrade or discolour when exposed to nitromethane fuel, making it perfect for both electric and nitro powered RC models.
• Lightweight Paint Application — One of the often-overlooked advantages of Fast Finish is that it makes painted RC bodyshells approximately 10-12 grams lighter than those painted with normal lexan paints, which is a genuine advantage for 1/10th and 1/12th scale competition RC cars where weight management is critical to performance.
• 150ml Capacity — The generous 150ml container ensures you have sufficient paint to apply multiple coats for superior coverage and colour depth, or to paint multiple RC car bodies without running out mid-project.
• Professional Grade Quality — Fast Finish is trusted by RC car enthusiasts and competitors throughout the UK hobby scene, delivering results that rival professional custom paint shops whilst remaining affordable and accessible.

Technical Performance

Fast Finish Cosmic Glo Orange represents Fastrax's commitment to engineering paint specifically for the unique demands of RC car bodyshells. Polycarbonate lexan is renowned for its flexibility and durability, but this flexibility means it requires a specially blended paint formula that can flex and stretch without cracking. Standard paints simply cannot cope with the constant movement of a polycarbonate shell as an RC car takes impacts, cornering forces, and vibration during use. Fast Finish solves this problem through its proprietary formulation that bonds with the lexan material whilst maintaining flexibility. The fuel-resistant chemistry is particularly important for nitro RC car owners, as traditional paints can be compromised by exposure to nitromethane fuel, leading to discolouration, peeling, or chemical degradation. Fast Finish's fuel-resistant properties ensure consistent appearance and protection regardless of whether your RC car is electric or nitro powered. The weight advantage of approximately 10-12 grams per painted bodyshell compared to conventional lexan paints is a measurable benefit that makes a genuine difference in 1/10th and 1/12th scale RC car performance, where every gram counts in maintaining speed, acceleration, and handling characteristics. The Cosmic Glo Orange finish sits within the Special FX paint category, which offers custom colour and effect options beyond the standard Classic and Neon ranges, allowing RC enthusiasts to create truly unique and personalised bodyshell appearances.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is Fast Finish paint suitable for all RC car bodies? — Fast Finish is specifically designed and formulated for polycarbonate lexan RC car bodies. It should be used on genuine lexan shells rather than painted bodies or alternative materials, as the formula is engineered to work with polycarbonate's unique properties.
• Will this paint work on nitro RC cars? — Yes, absolutely. Fast Finish is explicitly formulated to be fuel resistant, making it perfect for nitro-powered RC cars. The paint will not degrade, discolour, or peel when exposed to nitromethane fuel, which is a critical advantage over standard paints.
• How much lighter is Fast Finish compared to normal lexan paint? — Painted RC bodyshells using Fast Finish are typically 10-12 grams lighter than those painted with normal lexan paints. For 1/10th and 1/12th scale RC cars where weight is always a consideration for performance, this weight saving can provide a measurable advantage in speed and handling.
• What is the Cosmic Glo Orange finish compared to Classic or Neon paints? — Cosmic Glo Orange is part of the Special FX paint range, which is designed for those seeking a custom look beyond standard colours. The Special FX range includes effects like metalflake finishes and colour-shifting chameleon paints that create unique, eye-catching appearances. Classic paints cover standard colours and metallics, whilst Neon paints are ultra-bright fluorescent colours. Special FX paints like Cosmic Glo Orange offer distinctive custom finishes that really make your RC car stand out.
• How many bodyshells can I paint with one 150ml can? — One 150ml can provides ample paint for multiple bodyshell applications depending on your application technique and desired coverage. Most users can paint several standard RC car bodies or complete refresh multiple shells with proper spray technique and allowing adequate drying time between coats.
• Is this suitable for beginners to RC painting? — Fast Finish is suitable for RC enthusiasts of all experience levels. The aerosol spray format makes application straightforward compared to brush painting, though first-time painters should practise proper spray technique, ensure adequate ventilation, and apply thin, even coats rather than attempting single thick applications.
• Should I apply a primer before using Fast Finish? — Fast Finish is formulated to bond directly with clean polycarbonate lexan material. Ensure the bodyshell is clean and free from dust, oils, and contaminants before painting. Proper surface preparation is essential for optimal adhesion and finish quality, but a separate primer product is not required for lexan shells.
