Just a quicky re Tamiya Spray Paint -Plastic/Polycarbonate
Hi all
Just a quick question.....got a lexan shell to spray up for my SCT this week, however just got home from work to find that the spray paint that has come is the Tamiya for Plastic one, I thought was buying the for polycarbonate one. Will it be ok to use the for Plastic Spray Paint on a lexan shell? Cheers matt

Cheers for reply mate  In theory tho, I cover the inside of all my shells in gaffer tape......so if I did this and literally covered the whole shell then that should be ok? as the paint can't flake anywhere but onto the gaffer?

it would work in theory but when it starts flakinf it would look cracked, personaly i would get down to model shop for the right paint, after all you dont want to spend the time painting it to then it start to look cracked.
and no probs fella.

True true  Dagnammit, just being an inpatient two year old and as doing an all one colour base colour kinda really needs to be right. Oh well off to LHS tomorrow (and moan at ebay seller for having wrong picture in their advert  knew I should have just gone to my LHS for paint in the 1st place)

Actually one more question while I'm here....
I'm going to spray the shell Pearl White (then put a ton of stickers on) would I need to respray/do an overcoat of black? or would just white on it's own be ok? Thanks again matt

lol you should send it back,try get your dollar back because 5er for can paint is alot for what it is.
i just had my first pro painted shell done it was £25 and was done within afew days, well worth the price, plus saves us messing about masking it up and spending the money on 3 or 4 cans of paint and not using the full cans. http://www.oople.com/forums/showthre...t=65418&page=2 and love the your youtube vids
