Policarbonate spray PS-35 Blue Violet

Blue Violet spray paint for polycarbonate: intensity and adhesion where it matters most

The PS-35 Blue Violet spray (reference TA86035) is designed for painting on polycarbonate and lexan, the common materials used in slot car bodies and some static model parts. Its specific formulation ensures reliable adhesion on flexible surfaces without the paint cracking or peeling with use.

Main features

• Content: 100 ml per can.
• Colour: Blue Violet (PS-35), a highly saturated bluish violet tone.
• Formulated for polycarbonate and lexan.
• Direct spray application, no airbrush needed.
• Smooth and opaque finish, suitable for applying detail layers on top.

Applications

This spray is particularly useful for:

• Slot car bodies in polycarbonate: for both free decoration and recreating competition liveries.
• Static models with lexan or transparent polycarbonate parts that require a solid colour applied from the inside.
• Figures and dioramas where any component is made from this material.

Application tips

To achieve the best results with the PS-35 Blue Violet, consider these points:

1. Clean the surface well before painting: mild degreasers or soapy water remove residues that would prevent adhesion.
2. Apply in thin layers and allow to dry between coats. For slot car bodies, it is common to paint from the inside, so the colour will be inverted: details first, then the background.
3. Keep the can at room temperature (between 15 and 25 °C) and shake well for at least one minute before use.
4. If you need to combine with other references from the PS range, ensure they share the same type of base to avoid reactions between layers.

Compatibility

The PS-35 Blue Violet is compatible with other sprays from the same PS range, allowing for gradients, colour zones, or special effects by combining references. It is not suitable for polystyrene, ABS, or resin surfaces without appropriate prior priming.

Frequently asked questions

Can it be applied to lexan slot car bodies without priming?

Yes. The PS formulation is specifically designed to adhere to polycarbonate and lexan without the need for a prior base coat, as long as the surface is clean and degreased.

How much area does a 100 ml can cover?

It depends on the number of layers and the size of the piece, but a 100 ml can is sufficient to paint several 1/32 scale slot car bodies with full coverage.

Can it be used with an airbrush if I dilute it?

This product is formulated for spray can use. If you are looking for airbrush application, it is recommended to opt for paints from the equivalent range in airbrush can format from brands like Vallejo, Kaleido, or Tamiya, which offer greater dilution control.

Is the finish glossy or matte?

The PS range generally offers a semi-matt or glossy finish depending on the colour. In the case of PS-35 Blue Violet, the finish is glossy, making it ideal as a base colour layer before varnishes or decals.

Is it compatible with decals?

Yes. Once dry, the PS-35 Blue Violet accepts decals well. It is recommended to apply a layer of satin or glossy varnish before placing the decals to facilitate their sliding and improve adhesion.

The PS-35 Blue Violet spray paint (ref. TA86035) is a polycarbonate and lexan-specific formula ideal for slot car bodies, scale models and dioramas. Each can contains 100 ml of vibrant blue violet paint, offering excellent adhesion on flexible plastic surfaces without cracking. Compatible with other PS-range sprays for multicolour livery work. A reliable choice for slot car painting, RC body painting and static scale modelling.
