Vallejo Premium RC Candy Black 60ml Airbrush Paint – Acrylic-Polyurethane Hybrid for Models
Vallejo Premium Color RC Candy Black (2.02 fl oz / 60 ml) is an acrylic-polyurethane hybrid paint designed for airbrushing on RC car bodies, model kits, and custom parts. It delivers a transparent semi-gloss finish that resists nitro fuel up to 35% after curing, and bonds strongly to Lexan, metal, plastic, wood, and fiberglass. This water-based, non-toxic formula is easy to thin and clean, making it a top choice for hobbyists and customizers who need durable, color-stable coverage.
What makes Vallejo Candy Black paint ideal for RC and models?
This paint uses permanent pigments suspended in an acrylic-polyurethane resin. The hybrid base gives it high adhesion to challenging surfaces like polycarbonate and polyethylene, while the transparent nature allows you to create candy-color effects on pre-painted or metallic backgrounds. The finish stays semi-gloss and resists chipping from impacts and fuel exposure, which is critical for RC car bodies that see rough use.
