Tamiya Airbrush Lacquers for RC Models

Get glass-smooth, tough finishes with our Airbrush Lacquers range for RC bodies and scale builds. Choose solvent-based lacquers for fast, hard coats, ideal for high-gloss shells, and dedicated polycarbonate-safe options for painting Lexan from the inside. You'll find favourites from Tamiya, Pactra and Hobbynox, plus matching thinners, primers and clear coats. Tips: Light, mist coats at 15-25 PSI, allowing 5-10 minutes flash-off between passes. Thin as directed by the manufacturer (often 1:1 to 2:1 paint:thinner) for smooth atomisation. Key and clean the surface, use a suitable primer on hard plastics and metals, and back polycarbonate colours with silver or black for depth. Finish with a clear or fuel-resistant topcoat where required. Not sure which lacquer suits your shell? Our knowledgeable team is happy to help, and we keep large stocks for fast dispatch - with UK next day delivery options at checkout. Complete your setup with masking tape and films, airbrush needles and nozzles, cleaning fluids and respirators, and shop colour-matched ranges to replicate box-art or custom schemes. Always check product notes for substrate compatibility and curing times.
