Painting Guide

The Frog body is pre-painted Polycarbonate (Lexan) with authentic frog graphics already applied. Tamiya PS paint is recommended for touch-ups or custom repaints. Use PS paints applied from the inside of the body shell.

⚠️ Important: Do not use TS or XF paints on the polycarbonate body — they are not formulated for Lexan and will crack or peel.

Touch-Up / Box Art Colours

• PS-21 Park Green – Closest match to the classic bright green body colour for touch-ups
• PS-6 Yellow – Matches the yellow accent areas on the body
• PS-5 Black – Cockpit interior and detail areas

Custom Colour Options

• PS-22 Racing Green – Deeper green alternative for a custom look
• PS-1 White – Useful backing coat to make lighter colours pop when applied from the inside

Masking Tape

For clean custom paint work on the Lexan body, use flexible curve tape to seal edges before filling larger areas with standard tape.

Curve tape (for stripe borders):

• AK Interactive Blue Masking Tape for Curves 1mm
• AK Interactive Blue Masking Tape for Curves 2mm
• AK Interactive Blue Masking Tape for Curves 3mm

Standard tape (for filling large masked areas):

• AK Interactive Masking Tape 2mm
• AK Interactive Masking Tape 3mm
• AK Interactive Masking Tape 5mm
