[426 pack]

As the title says what is the difference between the tamiya AS and PS spray paints?

AS is for Styrene, PS is for Polycarbonate

CAN PS PAINT BE USED ON STYRENE, IF SO, WHAT TYPE OF CLEAR WOULD BE USED?

AS paints are aircraft colors. From my experience the AS paints work the same as the paints in Tamiya’s general TS line.

It's made for r/c car bodies. You will need to use a primer over the plastic.

Same here. They go down just as good as TS paint.

PS paints are “hotter” than TS or AS to key onto polycarbonate, which is chemically tougher than polystyrene. The paint layer is also more flexible, so it doesn’t flake off every time the RC body flexes or gets dinged. Bottom line is that they aren’t meant for styrene kits and using them is risky as they might eat your kit even with primer. There are a handful of colours that aren’t available in TS, but there are alternatives in other more suitable hobby or craft paint ranges...

best,

M.
