Default Fusion paint?

Would that Fusion paint work on Wraith body panels? The stuff is for plastic and is supposed to remain somewhat flexible. Thoughts?

proper prep should allow any paint to stick to lexan. as with anything i would sand with a fine paper, clean, and spray. The fusion paint should not require a primer so one would think it could be used internally where a non lexan paint would have to have a primer and be sprayed externally.

I painted my PS body with Krylon Ultra Flat Camo w/Fusion. So far its holding up great. Only prep I did was to wipe the bpdy down with Denatured Alcohol however I don't recommend doing that with clear panels haha.

Did you paint to outside with ther fusion paint? Any pics?

The reason I'm asking is I just got a Wraith in trade the the previous owner painted the panels yellow on the inside. I want to change the color and paint the outside instead. Just looking for any helpful tips to paint the outside of the panels. I happen to think of the Fusion paint this morning and decided to see if any others have used it.

I use the fusion paint on my lexan bodies and haven't had an issue with it.

I've been using fusion for a few years on my nb jk. Camo tan, same as the wraith above. Easy to use, & prep is hardly an issue. Tough as hell too!

Inside on lexan outside (obviously) on hard bodies. I e done outside on my ridgecrest body but scratched pretty easy. But that was used jus for a basher body so didn't really care much.

Did a lexan xj with true blue fusion painted on the inside body cracked from some unnecessary roughness but never had an issue with the paint

I used fusion on a couple bodies, inside lexan, and they all sheeted off. I washed and scuffed them, but the paint just peeled off in sheets. Some people say they have had luck with it, but I know on lexan it did not work for me.
