Default RE: The Unofficial all things Jet drive thread

Just a quick question to all the people who have spray painted their RC boats:

I want to spray my NQD Jet boat jet black. Can I spray the boat with just a normal spray can you buy from a hardware store? As it is a plastic hull is there a specific paint required so the hull doesn't crack from the paint or make the hull weak etc. Should I use the same paint I use for spraying rc car bodies such as the tamiya spray can paint? I just want to buy a cheap $5 can from a hardware store and spray it black but I am not sure if it is going to stick to the plastic hull good, or if the water might effect it, even if the paint will deform, crack or weaken the plastic etc. Cut a long story short, can I use an ordinary spray can? lol

Thankyou very much
