This is a massive acquisition for the RC hobby space. The Traxxas Paint Kit & Display is a complete, dealer-level retail package designed to showcase the Traxxas ProGraphix line of custom RC polycarbonate paints.
Rather than a single part for an end-consumer, this "KIT" designation means it is a complete hobby shop ecosystem—featuring the branded display rack, header signage, and a heavy assortment of aerosol cans engineered to give RC enthusiasts professional, airbrush-like results on their clear Lexan/polycarbonate bodies.
Key Features (The ProGraphix Paint)
If you are breaking this display down to sell the paint individually, here is what makes the Traxxas ProGraphix line highly sought after by hobbyists:
-
No-Scuff Adhesion: Unlike older RC paints, ProGraphix does not require the user to meticulously scuff the inside of the body with an abrasive pad.
A simple wipe down with isopropyl alcohol is all the prep needed. -
Ultra-Fine Nozzle: The exclusive valve design prevents the heavy "spatter" common in cheap hardware store paints, allowing for smooth color fades and razor-sharp masked lines.
-
Nitro-Fuel Resistant: Once dried, the paint will not melt, peel, or crack if exposed to spilled nitro fuel or engine degreasers.
-
Vast Color Assortment: The kit typically stocks the full spectrum of the 23 dynamic colors, including standard solids, brilliant metallics, eye-popping fluorescents, and the premium mirror chrome.
What the Kit Typically Includes
-
The Hardware: A heavy-duty, Traxxas-branded metal wire rack designed to sit on a counter or hang on a slatwall.
-
5oz Aerosol Cans: The standard size, perfect for painting a single 1/10 scale body (like a Slash or Rustler).
-
13.5oz Aerosol Cans: The larger, economical cans designed for massive 1/6 scale bodies (like the X-Maxx) or multiple projects.
-
Finishes & Backers: Usually includes the essential White/Black backing coats (crucial for making fluorescents pop) and Matte Finishing Sprays.
