Spaz Stix Orange Pearl Airbrush Ready Paint is a translucent pearl-effect colour formulated 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 applied behind it.

This airbrush version is pre-thinned and ready to spray straight from the bottle. Apply several light, even coats of Orange Pearl first when painting the inside of a clear RC body, then finish with a solid backing colour. Black produces a darker, deeper orange pearl effect, while white creates a brighter classic pearl appearance.

FAQ

Does Spaz Stix Orange Pearl SZX16050 need to be thinned? No. It is sold as Airbrush Ready paint and is pre-thinned for direct use in a suitable airbrush.

Why does the Orange Pearl look transparent when sprayed? Orange Pearl is intentionally translucent rather than opaque. The backing colour shows through the pearl layer and is a major part of the finished effect.

What colour should I use behind Orange Pearl? Black creates a darker, deeper pearl appearance, while white produces a brighter classic pearl finish. Other backing colours can also be used to create custom effects.

Which paint should be applied first on a clear RC body? When painting the inside of a clear polycarbonate body, apply the Orange Pearl first using several light coats. Once dry, apply the chosen solid backing colour behind it.

Should I spray heavy coats to make the colour stronger? No. Several light, even coats are preferred. Heavy coats or runs can create uneven pearl concentration that remains visible after the backing colour is applied.

Can this paint be used on surfaces other than polycarbonate? Spaz Stix formulates its paints primarily for polycarbonate RC bodies. Test compatibility before using it on other materials.

Important Notes

  • Orange Pearl is translucent and requires a backing colour for the intended finished effect
  • Shake or mix the paint thoroughly before use to distribute the pearl pigment evenly
  • Apply several light, even coats rather than one heavy coat
  • Allow the pearl coats to dry before applying the backing colour
  • Black backing produces a darker, deeper effect
  • White backing creates a brighter classic pearl appearance
  • For standard clear RC bodies painted internally, apply Orange Pearl before the backing colour
  • Test compatibility before applying to materials other than polycarbonate
  • Use with suitable ventilation and follow the safety instructions on the product label
