Default Finger nail polish

I was wondering if anyone has tried to use finger nail polish on a lexan body.. I use it on my plastic models and it works great.. It is lacquer but not sure if it will work.. Nam there are great colors if you can use it.

Won't work. It will crack as the body flexes.

Any kind of paint or, in this case, fingernail polish, would work on something that does not flex. Unforuntately they don't make RC bodies that don't flex. Even the .60 lexan bodies from Pro-Line (excellent quality BTW) flex.
