hmmmmm. homedepot and walmart not having paint that will work........................

just wondering why you decided to check a store that is for construction and a store that is the modern day version of k-mart???


now that my smart***** one liner question is done, try hobby stores.
you need to check hobby town usa. you need paint designed for lexan bodies.
towerhobbies.com also has a great selection of paints designed for rc cars.

towerhobbies.com carries alot of different manfactures for lexan paint. they should have what you are looking for

um if you read, i was looking for paint for a hard body, not a lexan body. lexan paint doesn't stick to well. i have used paint from both home depot, and walmart, and had success with both on hard bodies. not every body is made out of lexan.

any hobby shop or bodyshop supplier or ebay etc. normal or polycarbonate paint will work if prepped right.
i dont use spray cans so can really recommend any brands.
