RC PAINT!!! Holy crap, how in the world did you keep it from melting the plastic?!?! Please let us know your painting process. I've got 10 different colors for RC bodies and have destroyed about 10 different (scrap) bodies trying to figure out how to spray styrene with it.

i use 2 part primers like dupont varyprime a shortcut would be to prime the car lay the basecoat then use future floorwax over that as a barrier coat.

That`s an awesome color! Do you happen to know if it is lacquer, or if they offer it in a spray can?
