enamel paint is ok for styrene type bodies. Not good for lexan bodies. You need paint that is compatable with different plastics. I use Dupli-color automotive paint with the adhesion primer.

You can use that but it will flake off everytime you wreck.

Pactra, Faskolor and Spaz-Stixx make paints that are specially designed for use with the polycarbounate (lexan) bodies.

Pactra is a testors brand. Look for that line of spray paints at your LHS.
