Status: offline 		Hello I have a quick question about what paint to use on a RC truck body. I have a bunch of cheap brand acrylic paints (Apple Barrel, Anita’s and FolkArt) that I thin down with windex and use to airbrush foam air planes. Can I use this on Lexan RC bodys? And will it hold up to the abuse of a short course truck?

Thanks
