Which paint for body?
 
Im wondering which paint to buy that wont crack on the body. Home depot (local hardware store) has krylon paint for plastics, but Im not sure if its meant for flexible plastics so that it wont chip/crack when flexed. The local crafts store has the same type of paint. Will this work, or do I need to order some special lexan/polycarbonate paint?

I use the $.88 Acrylic paint from Wally World. (Crafts Section) and the $3.00 Acrylic Sealer. Works Great! Sure cant beat that price.

Just make sure your body is clean when applied and it wont come off.

No Bud, You need an airbrush...:lol:


$20 for an allright one at Tower Hobbies. (I use it) Comes with a compressed air can, but works well if you already have an air compressor.

Yeah, I can do wonders with a spray can haha.. $0.88 is too cheap to pass up.
