View All Spaz StixSpaz Stix Orange Pearl Paint is a translucent pearl-effect aerosol developed for clear polycarbonate RC car and truck bodies. Its high pearl content creates a deep iridescent orange finish that changes dramatically depending on the backing colour used behind it.
Unlike an opaque orange paint, Orange Pearl sprays on translucent. Apply several light, even coats and allow them to dry before adding a solid backing colour. A black backer produces a darker, deeper appearance, while white creates a brighter classic pearl effect. Other backing colours can also be used to create custom finishes.
For traditional clear RC bodies painted from the inside, spray Orange Pearl first and apply the backing colour afterwards. For external applications, reverse the process by applying the backing colour first, followed by Orange Pearl and a suitable clear coat.

FAQ
Is Spaz Stix Orange Pearl suitable for polycarbonate RC bodies? Yes. Spaz Stix formulates its paints specifically for polycarbonate material, particularly clear RC car and truck bodies.
Why does the Orange Pearl look transparent when sprayed? This is intentional. Orange Pearl is a translucent effect colour rather than a conventional opaque paint. The backing colour shows through the pearl layer and plays a major role in creating the finished appearance.
What colour should I back Orange Pearl with? Spaz Stix recommends black when you want a dark, deep finish or white for a brighter classic pearl appearance. Other backing colours can be used to create customised effects.
Should I apply heavy coats to make the orange stronger? No. Apply several light, even coats instead. Heavy application can cause runs, and because this is a translucent pearl, runs can create noticeable uneven areas in the finished colour.
Which paint goes on first when painting a clear RC body? When painting the inside of a clear polycarbonate body, apply Orange Pearl first. Once the pearl coats have dried, apply your chosen solid backing colour behind them.
Can I layer this with another pearl colour? Yes. Spaz Stix states that pearl colours can be double-stacked to create multiple highlights and customised colour effects.
Can Orange Pearl be applied to the outside of a body? It can be used for an external application, but the painting sequence changes. Apply the backing colour as the base coat first, followed by the pearl effect. Spaz Stix also recommends applying a suitable clear coat such as SZX90109 to achieve a high-lustre protective finish.
Can I use it on materials other than polycarbonate? Spaz Stix recommends testing compatibility before using the paint on other surfaces because the formulation is specifically intended for polycarbonate.
