More from Spaz Stix
View All Spaz StixSpaz Stix Ultimate Surface Pre-Prep is an aerosol surface preparation treatment designed to improve paint adhesion on plastic and polycarbonate RC bodies. Applied before the colour coat, it helps prepare the surface while reducing static electricity that can contribute to unwanted swirls and inconsistencies in the finished paintwork.
Surface Pre-Prep is particularly important when applying Spaz Stix Color Change paints, where an even underlying surface is essential for achieving a consistent effect. Only a very light coat is required — Spaz Stix recommends applying barely a mist, allowing it to dry, and then proceeding with the selected colour.

FAQ
What does Spaz Stix Ultimate Surface Pre-Prep do? It prepares compatible plastic and polycarbonate surfaces before painting, helping improve paint adhesion while reducing static electricity that can contribute to unwanted swirls in the finish.
Is Surface Pre-Prep recommended for polycarbonate RC bodies? Yes. Spaz Stix specifically recommends Surface Pre-Prep for polycarbonate RC body applications.
Do I need it when using Spaz Stix Color Change paint? Spaz Stix states that Surface Pre-Prep is an especially important preparation step when using its Color Change paints. Reducing static helps produce a more consistent effect across the body.
How much Surface Pre-Prep should I apply? Very little. The manufacturer recommends one very light coat — barely a mist. Applying more product than required is unnecessary and can negatively affect the finished paintwork.
Should I let Surface Pre-Prep dry before painting? Yes. Apply a very light mist and allow it to dry before spraying the colour coat.
Is this a primer? It functions as a pre-paint surface preparation and adhesion-promoting treatment rather than a conventional coloured or filling primer. Its purpose is to prepare the surface before the actual paint system is applied.
Does Surface Pre-Prep replace cleaning the RC body? No. The body should still be properly cleaned and prepared before painting. Surface Pre-Prep is an additional treatment used immediately before the colour application.
Can I apply a heavy coat for better adhesion? No. More is not better with this product. Spaz Stix specifically recommends only a very light mist. Excessive application can create problems in the finished paintwork.
