RCWC: Tamiya PS-55 confusion? Experiment answers. Amazed by results.

- Flat clear coat. How? When? Where? in? Out? Before? After? Experiment. Tamiya. PS-55 we know it works on the outside. But Tamiya says otherwise!? It works but helps flake shine! Conclusion: don’t use metallic paint unless you want lots of flake? It turns out beautiful!
The colour I used is Tamiya PS-18. - Jak na to + styl
For every one saying it goes on outside? You never raced and you have tamiyas just to put them on shelves? You never ever spray it on the outside of the body...ever.. for the cars that are meant for driving and racing. Full contact will chip it off.
Great video, thnx! I like the effect of the more metallic colour.
Love the input, thanks for the comment. 👍👊
Absolutely answered my question, thank you!
I’ve always used it on the outside, definitely works well. Have never tried it on the inside. You should do an inside vs outside
Good to see ya bro hope your keeping all good bro and cool update bro 👍👍👍
Thanks for this. Exactly what I was looking for 👍
Cheers 🍻 glad to help. Thank you for watching and the awesome comment! 👍
PS-55 is for outside of the body,
It can also be used to stick TS paints on the inside of a polycarbonate body.
It’s for both inside & outside, just like I said by the end of the video.
I don't know about the instructions on the can, but I can definitely tell you, that Tamiya writes in the instructions, that this flat clear 55 is to be applied to the outside (for example in the manual for the closed MX-5 body, just checked it) -- after removing the protective foiling. The gloss of the paint mainly comes from the polycarbonate itself and you need to alter the surface to make it appear flat. That is also the reason there isn't a gloss and matte variant for the PS paints.
Exactly why I did this video. Regardless of what instructions you follow. It will make a difference either way.
More recently, I used this product again on the inside of the lexan before colour, and it did exactly what I was hoping by making certain masked off patterns next to impossible to see in shade but pop out in the sunshine.
So just like my conclusion in this video. I'd say depending on what effect your looking for, it's very useful for both inside (before colour), & outside (after paint). Those that still wanna argue with results are always gonna argue anyway.
Thanks for the input on what anyone can read, I like testing products for myself, rather than just read what the manufacturer suggests sometimes. It's the only way to get actual results instead of just opinions. Know what I'm sayin?
I use it as well one coat thin before I use my airbrush createx colors. To give it a better Bond besides the 4030 that I need to use. If you use too much in the inside you can get a sort of flat color but it won't be very flat. If you want the Matt look paint your body in the inside then the flat on the outside.
@@driftcraze2138 appreciate the comment. That's pretty much exactly what I found as well.
It 100% gets used on the outside of the body. I believe the on can instructions to be an oversight due to most products being used on the inside as primary color. Of hundreds of colors and products, they are not going to spend thousands of dollars to change one word on the labeling. Hope this is helpful. Good test but no your recommendations are NOT as intended. Do more research/tests and try it outside. You CAN use it inside but with very little effect; just as you have proven in your video.
Thanks for the opinion. My results were quite significant actually. They may not have shown well on camera but I was quite happy with them. I & a close friend of mine used it on another project by spraying on the inside first, & it turned out amazing! So I’m not going to argue with you, but my results do contradict what you said. Thanks for watching.
@@rcwreck-creation agreed not worth arguing about, but what you are doing is "dulling" the actual paint on the inside. You have modified the color only. You have not "dulled" or flattened the gloss of the poly body itself lol.
Absolutely correct! I totally hear what you’re saying. The effect of the flat clear is definitely more prominent over top the glossy body. The result I got on the inside was a “half-flat” I like to call it.
The coolest part (of the project I videoed for my channel) is, cause I used a high metallic colour. The flat clear flat’d out the hue of the colour, but allows the metallics to shine through! So in direct sun the colour with flat over it looks almost like a flake? The part that got no flat-clear was a dual stripe I taped off when spraying it. So It’s a subtle difference you really need to look for at one angle, & @ another angle the stripe pops! It’s really nice actually. I’ll send ya a link to the video if you’re interested?
Great info.
Thank you for this video!
Blake Johnson My pleasure. Thank you for watching & taking the time to leave such positive feedback. 🍻
How's best to spray safely with this paint I have just got the tamiya paint and a 3M face mask with the padded respirators on either side is that safe enough from the vapour thinking of spraying outside on a non windy day or half in a garage half exposed to air? Worried don't want to get ill
I feel fine spraying outside. Maybe use the mask if you’re in the garage, but wherever you spray? Just make sure it’s well ventilated. For example: in the garage keep the door wide open. Overspray gets everywhere so don’t spray close by to anything you don’t want dusted with paint.
Generic instructions for both colours and clears. Colours go inside, Flat matt clear goes on the outside.
Actually the matt did work on the inside. Thanks for leaving your thoughts though.
Amazing info actually helps with my Silvia s15 shell I have I shopping in from japan 😅
Glad it was a help! If you can post a photo, I’d like to see it when your done bro?
What is the color of the purple?
켓버 PS-18 Tamiya. Thanks for watching! 🤘👍
Does this a matte finish on gunpla build ?
I’m not sure what that means? Thanks for taking the time to ask a question though.
Now test other way dude. Then advise spray outside too if dont like. Definitely paint rep.
Did you watch the whole video bud? My conclusion was it can be used on in & outside.
Sorry you were so badly misled. 😢 EVEN by the Can!
As you know by now, it Definitely doesn't go on the inside!!
This kind of misinformation has hurt many modelers over the years.
Actually I found it does work on the inside. In fact I demonstrate the difference it makes on the inside in this video.
My conclusion to the experiment was it can be used inside & outside.
I did see that. And it does take some of the shine out....
But economically, you only need to use it on the outside. Of course there's my "Rule #1" of RC...
"It's YOUR RC. If it works for you, it's right" I just offer suggestions based on my myriad of experience (MISTAKES) over the decades! 😉
@@CarminesRCTipsandTricks absolutely brother! 👊 I’ll never say or think I know better. All I can do is listen to other experiences & tell about my experiences & hope it helps someone?
@@rcwreck-creation EXACTLY!
He’s 100% wrong.
Flat goes on the outside. Lexington, hard bodies, static models…It should be the first thing you see
I appreciate your comment, but my results by the end of the video contradicts what you’re saying. It is effective from the inside as well as the outside.
Really!? A 👎 for helping? Sheesh? LOL!!!!
