Any cheap alternatives for painting lexan?

I would stick with paint specially made for lexan, otherwise it'll chip if the body flexes, and then it looks really bad...

So far I can see places where the paint is separating from the lexan again, but the tape is holding it and keeping it from flaking all over the place and making a big mess of the chassis.
This is the last attempt for this body, now the windows are all scratched and fogged from all the masking and cleanup I've done.
Next body gets swabbed out w/ rubbing alcohol before painting...

Sounds like you've got a can of the TS spray rather than the "PS" spray that Tamiya makes. -- Big difference in how it adheres to the lexan body.

Check the cap of your paint does it say TS and then a number? If so you've got the wrong stuff.
