Default Paint color please.

I'm trying to figure out what color this is. Does anyone know if it was backed in black, white, or silver?

If you email customer service at Axial they will let you know the exact color and paint brand.

I did that for the Silver on the Rubicon.

I called and asked the same question about the silver and the girl said "they" don't list that info.

These guys used Krylon Ultra Flat Camo on the outside. It appears that the newer version of this paint has the Fusion additive.

Will the fusion additive that you mentioned allow the paint to adhere to lexan just like polycarbonate paint would?

No. Most, not all, accounts I have read of people who have tried the Fusion paints say it did not work. THAT SAID I doubt they were using the Krylon Ultra Flat paints which may be different. If you have an old RC body, or even some of the left over scraps from trimming the body, give them a light sanding and then spray some of the Krylon on to test it. then bend, flex, and bang it up to see how it hold up.

There are also adhesion promoters that can be used.

Are you wanting to paint on the inside or outside of the body (gloss or flat)?

My plan is to paint the inside as per usual methods, then spray the outside with tamiya ps-55 flat clear. I know it may scrape off over time but I can always touch it up if I need to
