Tamiya Spray Paint for Models and RC Bodies

Shop Tamiya spray paint for scale models, aircraft and polycarbonate RC bodies. Tamiya spray cans provide a convenient way to apply colour across larger surfaces without requiring an airbrush, with TS, AS and PS ranges developed for different modelling applications.

The selection includes standard colours, military shades, metallics, clear finishes and specialist effects. As each Tamiya paint range is intended for particular materials and subjects, check the series and individual product instructions carefully before spraying.

Which Tamiya Spray Paint Range Do You Need?

• Tamiya TS spray paint: designed for plastic model kits and commonly used on cars, motorcycles, military vehicles, aircraft and other hard plastic subjects.
• Tamiya AS spray paint: developed for scale aircraft, with colours suited to historical and modern aviation schemes.
• Tamiya PS spray paint: formulated for polycarbonate RC body shells and normally applied to the inside of the clear shell.

The ranges are not interchangeable in every application. In particular, PS paint is intended for polycarbonate rather than ordinary plastic model surfaces. Always confirm the model material and follow the instructions printed on the can.

Tamiya TS Spray Cans for Plastic Models

Tamiya TS spray paints are a practical option for applying base colours and exterior finishes to plastic kits. The range includes matt, gloss, metallic, pearl, clear and military shades, although the finish varies by colour. Review the product name and code to make sure you select the required shade and surface effect.

Tamiya AS Aircraft Spray Paints

For aviation projects, browse the dedicated collection of Tamiya AS aircraft spray paints. These colours are intended for aircraft schemes and provide an alternative to mixing or airbrushing bottled paint across wings and fuselages.

Preparing and Applying Model Spray Paint

1. Clean the model surface and remove dust, grease and sanding residue.
2. Mask any areas that should remain unpainted.
3. Use a suitable primer when required for the material and finish.
4. Shake the can and follow its application instructions.
5. Apply several light coats instead of one heavy coat, allowing appropriate drying time between applications.
6. Let the paint cure before handling, masking or applying further finishes.

Spray only in a suitably ventilated area and follow all safety information on the aerosol can. Test the paint on a spare piece or inconspicuous area if you are uncertain about colour, finish or material compatibility.
