Thumbs down Paint Type for stock AX10 B17 Betty Body?

Should I be buying flexible acrylic paint or what?

Cheers

they make lexan/polycarb paint...you can get it from some of the vendors (RPP comes to mind) or from towerhobbies. Comes both as rattle can and paint for airbrushes

Cheers that's helpful

Well I would love to have an airbrush, but unfortunately it's down to the spray can format only for now. As I'm based in the UK, is there anywhere regular you can go, or even online, based here, that specialises in this kind of thing?

Am I just looking for any acrylic paint, or lexan paint? flexible paint, in a spray can?

If I can just spray it out of a can obviously its not getting mixed or watered down, right? -there is so much of this talk, is that specifically for airbrushes?

Thanks for your help all, I am about to paint my Axial AX10 Scorpion B17 and I can't wait! Just don't want to make any foolish mistakes in purchasing paint

Try a local hobby shop or arts and crafts store

Not acrylic paint, or flexible paint, LEXAN/POLYCARBONATE paint. Any hobby shop that sells RC cars should have it, or be able to get it.
