FAQs
Can I use TS-92 on R/C car bodies?
No, this paint is not suitable for clear Polycarbonate or LEXAN shells as it may cause the plastic to become brittle or fail to adhere properly.
How many 1/24 scale models can one can cover?
One 100ml can is sufficient for two to three 1/24 scale model car bodies.
Is this paint compatible with acrylic paints?
Yes, TS-92 is a synthetic lacquer and is compatible for use with both acrylic and enamel finishes.
Do I need a primer?
While not strictly required, using a Tamiya plastic primer is highly recommended to improve adhesion and ensure an even color base.
How long should I wait before applying a clear coat?
While the paint is fast-curing, it is best to wait at least 24 hours to ensure the solvent has fully outgassed before applying a clear protective coat.
Troubleshooting
Orange peel texture on surface
Hold the can further away from the model and ensure you are using consistent, sweeping motions rather than holding the spray in one spot.
Paint running or sagging
The coats were applied too heavily. Allow the paint to dry completely, sand lightly with high-grit sandpaper, and apply a thinner mist coat.
Metallic finish looks dull
Shake the can more thoroughly before starting and ensure your base surface is smooth and primed properly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before spraying, ensure the plastic model surface is primed with a suitable Tamiya plastic primer to maximize adhesion. Shake the canister vigorously for at least one minute before use to ensure the metallic pigments are properly suspended. For cleanup, while the paint is permanent once cured, uncured overspray can be removed with lacquer thinner. Always work in a well-ventilated area or use a spray booth, and wear a respirator mask to avoid inhaling fumes. Store the cans in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the propellant.
