I dont know, I would think you would be better off using the same type of paint you would use for a model kit.


Try it on a small area inside the body where you cant see, I cant imagine why it wouldnt work

It will stick but I would recommend tamiya model paint for hard plastics. the lexan paint wont last as long but should stick and go on smooth.
