Painting Guide – Classic Box Art Colour Scheme

The YZ-10 features a clear Polycarbonate (Lexan) buggy body and undertray. Because PS paints are translucent, colours must be sprayed on the inside of the shell in reverse order — finest details and darkest colours first, main body colour last, then backed with white.

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

Main Body & Wing

• PS-1 White – Primary body colour for the main shell and rear wing. Also used as the mandatory backing coat over all accent colours — back the entire inner shell with white last to make all colours fully opaque and vibrant.

Geometric Stripes & Accent Sections

• PS-4 Blue – Sharp retro blue graphics framing the cockpit sides and nose block
• PS-30 Brilliant Blue – Alternative/brighter blue option for the cockpit and nose graphics
• PS-2 Red – Thin separating pinstripes and secondary chevron accents between the blue and white sections
• PS-6 Yellow – Bright yellow lightning bolts and number backers on team box art variants

Undertray

• PS-1 White – Box art standard is to spray the polycarbonate undertray solid white for a clean look. Alternatively, leave it clear to show off the chassis underneath — builder's choice.

Pro Masking Tip

The YZ-10 box art relies on incredibly sharp, straight geometric lines. The shell's deep channels and roof duct can cause standard masking tape to lift at corners, leading to paint bleed. Use a flexible tape for curves to seal stripe borders first, then fill large areas with standard masking tape.

Curve tape (for stripe borders):

• AK Interactive Blue Masking Tape for Curves 1mm – ideal for tight corners and fine detail borders
• 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
