Fastrax Fast Finish Pearl White Spray Paint 150ml RC Body Paint FAST278

Overview

The Fastrax Fast Finish Pearl White Spray Paint 150ML (FAST278) is a premium aerosol paint system specifically engineered for polycarbonate (lexan) RC car bodies. Whether you're building a competitive 1/10th scale buggy, customising a 1/12th scale racer, or restoring a favourite RC car body, this paint delivers professional results that withstand the demands of genuine RC use. Fast Finish is the choice of serious RC enthusiasts across the UK who demand both aesthetic excellence and proven durability on the track.

Unlike standard spray paints, Fast Finish employs a specially blended formula that works harmoniously with flexible polycarbonate materials, ensuring the paint moves with your body shell without cracking or peeling during intense driving. This is particularly important for RC cars where bodies flex during cornering, impacts and general use. The Pearl White finish sits within the Special FX paint range, offering a distinctive look that combines fine metalflake particles with a transparent carrier for a refined sparkling effect.

One often-overlooked advantage of Fast Finish paints is their weight efficiency. A body painted with Fast Finish will typically be 10-12g lighter than one painted with conventional lexan paints—a genuinely meaningful advantage when weight management is critical in competitive 1/10th and 1/12th scale racing where every gram counts towards your setup's performance.

Key Features

• Polycarbonate-Optimised Formula — Fast Finish is specifically designed for polycarbonate (lexan) bodies rather than generic aerosol paints, meaning it has the correct chemical composition to adhere properly whilst allowing the material's natural flexibility without cracking, chipping or lifting during hard racing.
• Fuel Resistant Paint — The paint formulation is resistant to fuel, making it an excellent choice for nitro-powered RC cars where traditional paints would degrade or discolour from fuel exposure, extending the lifespan of your painted bodywork.
• Weight Advantage — Fast Finish paints reduce overall body weight by approximately 10-12g compared to standard lexan paints, providing a genuine performance benefit for competitive 1/10th and 1/12th scale RC cars where lighter weight improves acceleration, handling and energy efficiency.
• Special FX Pearl White Finish — This paint features fine metalflake particles suspended in a transparent carrier, creating a sophisticated sparkling effect that's more refined than the coarser Starburst Silver option, and can be layered over base colours to achieve a custom jewel-like appearance.
• Versatile Layering System — Pearl White is designed to be applied first as a base layer, then backed with additional colours to create a solid, sparkling multi-dimensional finish, giving you complete creative control over the final aesthetic.
• 150ml Aerosol Can — The standard 150ml size provides sufficient coverage for most RC car bodywork whilst remaining convenient to handle and store, with the aerosol format ensuring even, consistent application without the need for additional spraying equipment.
• Professional Finish Quality — Fast Finish delivers a superb, dynamic colour finish that not only looks professional but also withstands the rigours of genuine model car use including track conditions, fuel exposure, UV light and physical impacts.

Technical Performance

Fast Finish Pearl White is engineered with a specially blended paint formula that addresses the unique demands of polycarbonate bodywork used in RC cars. Polycarbonate is inherently flexible and durable, requiring a paint system with different chemical properties than those used on rigid plastic or metal surfaces. The Fast Finish system achieves this balance by providing excellent adhesion whilst maintaining flexibility, ensuring your paint moves with the body shell during the stresses of RC car use without cracking or peeling. The fuel-resistant properties make it particularly suitable for nitro-powered RC vehicles, where regular fuel exposure would otherwise cause discolouration, degradation or paint failure with standard aerosol paints. The 150ml capacity is the standard size across the Fast Finish range, providing adequate coverage for typical RC car body applications. The paint is applied via aerosol spray, delivering consistent, even coverage without requiring a compressor or spray gun. The weight reduction benefit—typically 10-12g lighter than conventional lexan paints—is particularly significant for competitive 1/10th and 1/12th scale racing where overall vehicle mass directly impacts acceleration, braking and handling characteristics. The Pearl White finish belongs to the Special FX category, distinguished by its fine metalflake particles that create a refined sparkling effect when light reflects across the painted surface, offering a more subtle alternative to the coarser Starburst Silver whilst providing greater visual depth than Classic or Neon finishes.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is the difference between Pearl White and other Fastrax paint finishes? — Pearl White is part of the Special FX paint range, featuring fine metalflake particles in a transparent carrier that creates a refined sparkling finish. It differs from Classic colours (solid whites, reds, blacks and metallics like Spa Silver) which offer solid coverage, Neon paints which provide ultra-bright fluorescent visibility, and Chameleon paints which change colour depending on the viewing angle. Pearl White is specifically designed to be applied as a base layer, then backed with another colour to create a solid, sparkling multi-dimensional finish.
• Can I use Fast Finish Pearl White on nitro RC cars? — Yes. Fast Finish is fuel resistant, making it perfect for nitro-powered RC cars where standard paints would degrade from fuel exposure. This fuel resistance ensures your painted bodywork maintains its appearance and integrity even with regular nitro fuel contact.
• How much lighter will my RC body be with Fast Finish compared to standard paint? — Fast Finish typically makes a painted body 10-12g lighter than one painted with normal lexan paints. This weight saving is genuinely significant for 1/10th and 1/12th scale RC cars where every gram affects performance, acceleration and handling characteristics.
• Is Fast Finish suitable for polycarbonate bodies? — Yes, absolutely. Fast Finish is specifically formulated for polycarbonate (lexan) bodywork and is not suitable for other materials. The specially blended paint formula is designed to work with polycarbonate's flexibility and durability, ensuring the paint adheres properly whilst allowing the material to flex without cracking or peeling.
• How do I achieve the best finish with Pearl White? — Pearl White is designed as a base layer paint. Spray it onto your clean, prepared polycarbonate body first, then back it with another Fastrax colour to create a solid, sparkling finish. This layering technique creates the jewel-like, multi-dimensional appearance that makes Special FX paints distinctive.
• Will Fast Finish paint crack or peel during RC car use? — No. Unlike standard aerosol paints, Fast Finish is engineered specifically for polycarbonate materials to withstand the physical stresses of RC car use, including body flexing during cornering and impacts, ensuring the paint remains intact and durable throughout your car's racing life.
• What scale RC cars can I use this on? — Fast Finish is suitable for any scale RC car using polycarbonate bodies, including 1/10th scale, 1/12th scale and other scales. The weight advantage of 10-12g is particularly valuable for smaller scales like 1/10th and 1/12th where weight management is critical to performance.
