Default Testor paints?

Will this stiff work on lexan its model paint at hobby lobby and they have some really killer colors but its a lacquer paint so would it stick well to the outside of a body? I wanna repaint my rubi but dont wanna buy a new shell till this ones trashed.

Testors arent meant to flex like a lexan body does everytime you rub against on object or roll over. Because its not meant to flex it will eventually peel and crack and your body will develop a nasty case of leporacy.

So will some krylon hold up good if I do a good primer base?

If you use a good adhesion promoter you can get away with regular paints depending on what you plan on doing with bodies .
