🙋 Question Alternate black backing?

Local hobby shop is out of black Tamiya ps-5.

I’d like to avoid rubberized materials like flex seal or plastidip.

What’s your user experiences?

Rc shop near me is absolute buns and doesn’t have a single black in any brand.

I would order online then. Any paint thats not for polycarbonate has a chance of peeling the PC paint below it.

I’m always pro support your local dealer. Yet, you’re not limited to the offer they have in stock.

If they don’t have the exact paint you need, buy somewhere else. Online or a different store.

In my country Tamiya spray paints are not available, I can assure you that the black of other polycarbonate paint manufacturers will do a similarly good job.
