The right paints...
Hey guys just had a quick question might be dumb but I am a little lost. I want to startpainting on one of the my buggy bodys. So my question is before I go and spend money on paints is there any special types i should be looking for. I have done some airbrushing but not alotand i just dont want to spend my money on some paints that suck. Any help or pushes in the right direction would be great.

RE: The right paints...
No i have a couple of clear bodys that i want to paint. I just see all these cool looking paint jobs and I have an airbrush so i thought i would give it a try just dont really know where to start. Just wanted to get the paints first then go from there.

The link is to HPI's tips page,The Pactra Racing Finish Acryl I mention is the acrylic polycarbonate paint that you would want to use,cleans up nicely with water afterward.
