Overview

The Tamiya TS-52 Candy Lime Green (Kawasaki) Acrylic Spray Paint is an essential finishing product for RC model enthusiasts across the UK who are building and customising scale model cars and motorcycles. This premium synthetic lacquer spray paint delivers a vivid, striking shade of green that perfectly recreates the iconic colour seen on famous Kawasaki motorcycles, particularly the legendary Ninja ZX-12R. Whether you're an experienced modeller working on a competition-grade build or a hobbyist discovering the world of RC customisation for the first time, this professional-quality paint will elevate your model's appearance and authenticity.

Tamiya spray paints are recognised worldwide for their superior coverage, quick curing times, and exceptional finish quality. Available at RC Model Shop, the TS-52 is specifically formulated to work seamlessly with other painting systems, allowing you to layer different paint types for intricate detailing and professional results. The 100ml capacity provides excellent value, offering enough paint to fully cover two or three 1/24 scale model car bodies in a single coat. This makes it an economical choice for anyone building multiple models or tackling larger surface areas on a single project.

Unlike some cheaper spray paints available online, Tamiya TS spray paint is engineered to cure in a short period of time, allowing you to progress quickly through your build schedule. The synthetic lacquer formulation creates a durable, glossy finish that resists chipping and fading, ensuring your model maintains its showroom appearance for years to come. This product is age restricted and available for UK delivery, making it accessible to serious RC enthusiasts and professional builders throughout the country.

Key Features

• Synthetic Lacquer Formula — The paint is formulated as a synthetic lacquer that cures in a short period of time, allowing you to apply additional coats or add details quickly without lengthy drying periods between applications, keeping your project on schedule.
• Vivid Candy Lime Green Finish — This is a striking, vibrant shade of green specifically chosen to authentically recreate the colour seen on famous Kawasaki motorcycles, particularly the Ninja ZX-12R, making it perfect for anyone building 1/12 scale motorcycle models or custom RC car bodies with Kawasaki-inspired liveries.
• 100ml Professional Capacity — Each can contains 100ml of paint, which is enough to fully cover two or three 1/24 scale car model bodies, providing excellent value and efficiency for your building project without wastage.
• Compatible with Multiple Paint Systems — Tamiya TS spray paint is not affected by acrylic or enamel paints, meaning you can apply this base coat and then add details, pick out small features, or apply weathering effects using enamel or acrylic paints for a professional, layered finish.
• Spray Application for Large Surfaces — The aerosol spray format is extremely useful for painting large model surfaces, providing even coverage across body panels, chassis components, and wide flat areas that would be difficult to paint evenly with a brush.
• Quick Curing Time — The short curing time means you can progress through your build more quickly, applying multiple coats when necessary and moving on to detailing, assembly, or additional finishing steps without extended waiting periods.
• Professional Finish Quality — The synthetic lacquer creates a glossy, durable finish that resists chipping, fading, and wear, ensuring your finished model maintains its showroom appearance even after regular use and handling.
• Combines with Three Paint Types — By combining Tamiya TS spray paint with acrylic and enamel paints, you can create complex, multi-layered finishes that make the work of finishing plastic models simpler and more effective than using a single paint type.

Technical Performance

The Tamiya TS-52 Candy Lime Green spray paint represents professional-grade finishing technology engineered specifically for scale model builders. The synthetic lacquer formulation provides superior adhesion to plastic model bodies, including those used on RC cars available throughout the UK market, whilst maintaining compatibility with both acrylic and enamel paints commonly used for detailing and weathering effects. The 100ml spray can format ensures consistent, even application across large surface areas, delivering a uniform glossy finish without brush marks or streaking. The quick curing time of this synthetic lacquer allows modellers to apply multiple coats efficiently, with each layer drying rapidly enough to permit detailed work or additional coats without extended project timelines. The paint's resistance to fading and chipping means that finished models maintain their vivid Candy Lime Green colour through regular handling, display, and use, making this product ideal for both display-quality builds and working models that will be actively used. The formulation is specifically unsuitable for use with clear polycarbonate or Lexan RC body shells, as the paint will flake off these materials; builders working with polycarbonate bodies should instead use Tamiya PS spray paint for optimal adhesion and durability.
