Overview
The Fastrax Fast Finish Cosmic Glo Green Spray Paint 150ml (FAST274) is a professional-grade aerosol paint specifically engineered for polycarbonate lexan RC model car bodies. Whether you're a competitive racer, weekend basher, or hobby enthusiast building your first RC car in the UK, this specialist paint delivers a stunning dynamic colour finish that can withstand the rigours of genuine model car use. Cosmic Glo Green offers a striking, eye-catching finish that will make your RC car stand out on any track or terrain.
The Fast Finish range represents a revolution in RC body painting technology. Unlike standard lexan paints, Fast Finish is formulated with a specially blended paint formula that respects the flexible and durable nature of polycarbonate material itself. This means your painted body will maintain its integrity and appearance through countless bashings, races and weather exposure. If you're serious about your RC car setup, whether you run nitro-powered engines or electric brushless systems, Fast Finish is the paint choice that serious hobbyists trust.
One often-overlooked benefit that sets Fast Finish apart from competitors is its remarkable lightness on the bodyshell. A painted body finished with Fast Finish will typically be 10-12g lighter than one painted with normal lexan paints. For 1/10th and 1/12th scale RC cars where every gramme counts towards performance and acceleration, this weight saving can be a genuine competitive advantage. Combined with its fuel-resistant properties, Fast Finish is the smart choice for any serious RC car builder in the UK.
Key Features
- Specially Formulated for Polycarbonate Lexan — This paint is not a generic aerosol; it features a specially blended formula designed specifically to work with the flexible and durable nature of polycarbonate material, ensuring the paint adheres properly and flexes with the body without cracking or peeling.
- Fuel Resistant Formula — Fast Finish is fuel resistant, making it the perfect choice for nitro-powered RC cars where traditional paints may degrade or run when exposed to nitro fuel, exhaust and fumes during competition or heavy use.
- Weight Saving Advantage — One of the most significant benefits is that Fast Finish makes a painted body 10-12g lighter than one painted with normal lexan paints, providing a real performance advantage for 1/10th and 1/12th scale RC cars where weight is always an issue in competitive racing.
- Dynamic Colour Finish — Cosmic Glo Green provides a striking and vibrant finish that not only looks fantastic but also delivers the visual impact needed to make your RC model stand out on the track or during outdoor bashing sessions.
- Rigorous Durability — Engineered to withstand the demands of genuine model car use, including impacts, vibration, exposure to fuel, dirt, water and UV light, ensuring your paintwork stays looking fresh lap after lap.
- 150ml Spray Can — The 150ml aerosol format provides convenient, even application without requiring additional equipment, making it accessible for both experienced modellers and those new to RC car customisation.
- Part of the Fast Finish Family — Available in three finish ranges (Classic, Neon and Special FX), Cosmic Glo Green is part of a comprehensive colour system allowing you to build custom liveries and designs across multiple RC vehicles.
Technical Performance
Fast Finish Cosmic Glo Green represents the cutting edge of polycarbonate RC body paint technology. The paint is engineered through careful chemical formulation to bond with lexan plastic whilst respecting its inherent flexibility, ensuring that as your RC body flexes and moves during high-speed running, cornering and impacts, the paint coating flexes with it rather than cracking. This is fundamentally different from standard automotive or craft spray paints which are formulated for rigid substrates. The fuel resistance is particularly important for nitro-powered RC cars, where the combination of fuel exposure, heat from the engine, and exhaust fumes can cause ordinary paints to fade, discolour or fail. Fast Finish's specially blended formula resists these degradation mechanisms, maintaining colour vibrancy and finish quality even in challenging nitro environments. The remarkable 10-12g weight saving compared to normal lexan paints is achieved through a lighter binder system without compromising adhesion or durability. For competitive 1/10th and 1/12th scale RC racing, this weight reduction can contribute meaningfully to lap times and handling characteristics. The 150ml aerosol can is pressurised to deliver an even, consistent spray pattern that covers polycarbonate bodies efficiently with minimal overspray waste. Cosmic Glo Green sits within the broader Fast Finish ecosystem which includes Classic finishes for traditional colours, ultra-bright Neon finishes for maximum track visibility, and Special FX options including Chameleon paints that shift colour depending on viewing angle and Starburst metalflake options for custom builds.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is Fastrax Fast Finish suitable for all RC car bodies? — Fast Finish is specifically designed for polycarbonate (lexan) RC model car bodies. You should not use this paint on plastic bodies made from other materials, as the specially blended formula is optimised exclusively for lexan's unique properties and flexibility. Always confirm your RC body is made from polycarbonate before applying Fast Finish paint.
- Can I use Fast Finish paint on nitro-powered RC cars? — Yes, absolutely. In fact, Fast Finish is specifically recommended for nitro cars because it is fuel resistant. The paint formula is engineered to withstand exposure to nitro fuel, heat and exhaust fumes without degradation, discolouration or failure, making it ideal for serious nitro racers and enthusiasts.
- How much weight will I save with Fast Finish compared to standard lexan paint? — Fast Finish typically makes a painted body 10-12g lighter than one painted with normal lexan paints. For 1/10th and 1/12th scale competitive RC cars, this weight saving can represent a genuine performance advantage in acceleration, handling and lap times.
- What colours are available in the Fast Finish range? — Fast Finish is available in three finish ranges: Classic (normal colours including white, red, black and metallic colours like Spa Silver and Graphite), Neon (ultra bright fluorescent colours for maximum track visibility), and Special FX (including Starburst Silver metalflake, Pearl White, and Chameleon colours like Jade which flip between yellow-gold and deep green depending on viewing angle).
- Can I combine Cosmic Glo Green with other Fast Finish paints? — Yes. The Fast Finish paint family is designed to work together as a comprehensive colour system. Special FX paints like Starburst Silver and Pearl White are designed to be sprayed first as transparent carriers with metallic particles, then backed with another Fast Finish colour (including solid colours like Cosmic Glo Green) to create custom, sparkling finishes.
- Is this paint easy to apply? — The 150ml aerosol format makes application straightforward. Simply shake well and spray in a well-ventilated area or outdoors using light, even strokes. The spray pattern is designed for consistent coverage on polycarbonate bodies. For best results, apply multiple thin coats rather than one thick coat.
- Will Fast Finish paint work on electric brushless RC cars as well as nitro? — Yes. While Fast Finish is notably fuel resistant (making it ideal for nitro cars), it works equally well on electric brushless RC cars. Any RC vehicle with a polycarbonate lexan body will benefit from the weight saving, durability and superior finish quality that Fast Finish delivers.
- How does Cosmic Glo Green compare to other green paints? — Cosmic Glo Green is part of the special colour range within Fast Finish, offering a striking, distinctive green finish that stands out on the track. The exact tone and finish characteristics are optimised for polycarbonate bodies, delivering better adhesion, flexibility and durability than standard green spray paints designed for other materials.
