lexan olive drab?

[ah_5500]

I've been doing some searching to find and olive drab that wil stick to lexan. What I've read is that it needs to be a lacquer paint. So, will this work? Thanks!

no that wont work. you need the PS line of paint its for poly carbonate.
what i would do is paint the out side with black lexan paint, let that fully cure for a day or two. then paint over that with any olive drab paint. doesnt not have to be lexan paint, can be any standard spray paint.

Good idea. Thanks!

I scuffed the outside of the body I was painting and then painted with krylon fusion and it's held up just fine so far.

I think I may try the idea to paint over the lexan. Has anybody tried this? X2 with some krylon fusion, I just picked some up.

I did mine the way Stang suggested. I painted the hood with black Lexan paint and went over it with flat black fusion. Remember that your scratches will show through when you paint the outside and show what's underneath (either inside or outside).
Another consideration is that the fusion lays down waaaaaay thicker.
I have read several threads of fusion both sticking and flaking off...not sure if it's prep or driving style
