I'm looking for....

[Rooney7783]

a maroon/burgundy paint in a spray can. I've tried searching the pactra paints I can find online (which is limited) but can't find a color I'm happy with. I'm wanting to use basically the maroon and silver like on a Dr. Pepper can. Anyone have any sources?

go to your local hobby shop and look for some tamiya paints. or go to tamiyausa.com

tamiya paints have alot of colors, you might even stop by the walmart and look at krylon fusion paints. they work great!

I really really really wish I had one. Closest thing we have is a retarded guy that didn't even know what a Blade MCPx or a Losi MRC were. All he has are the traxxas nitro parts he needs.

I wondered if the krylon stuff worked on lexan. Anyone else have any experience with it?




All the maroons or burgundys I've found, both pactra and tamiya, look purple or pink. I know monitor colors vary so I was kinda hoping one of you smarter guys would know of a color code or something off hand.

I used this

With this after as a base

And it can out like this


If you use a red underside the color would be lighter. I really love it.

That looks good. How's it holding up to body flex? And did you use any additives?

Also, just to note, Valspar spray paints work perfectly on lexan. They adhere great and you can flex the lexan to insane bends and it will not crack at all. Very good high quality paints.

Do you mean like the regular rattle can from wal-mart? Is there a specific Valspar for plastics?
