Pactra Racing Finish in the little jars. I use my $25 Badger airbrush from Hobbytown and it werks great.

I used the rattle cans before and they were good but I like the airbrush mucho better.

I paint a lot of bodies, and prefer the spray of the Tamiya cans over the pactra. I've had a few pactra nozzles fail. The Tamiya's have a nice, even spray..

2 cents!

I use Pactra Racing Finish in the spray cans - it's worked out great so far.

Edit: Wow, I just realized how old this thread was.

Dude, I think you have been huffing that paint. Why post in this thread that is 2 years old? EeePee started this thread back on 11/2004.

I paint alot of bodies in all venues of RC and prefer Fascolor, or if you want to be cheap Createx which is exactly the same paint. You can get it at art supply stores like Michaels for alot cheaper. I like that it has no fumes(Burned up too many brain cells on Pactra) and all you need for cleaner and thinner is Formula 409 household cleaner.
