Nail Polish on Lexan?

[BJoe]

Has anybody tried this yet, picked up a bottle of Colorgirl Forever Festive Red Metallic for an AMT '49 Merc model I'm working on and got to wondering if anybody has tried the stuff on Lexan too?

Here's the color, should look good on the right bodies.


And here's the Merc, it may get sectioned and the top will be coming off too.

I think it would be too brittle for lexan.

That was my concern too, it needs to be thinned with lacquer thinner anyway, to getting it to stick wouldn't be problem at least.

I have used the clear before to hide scratches, holding up just fine, looks good

Thanks FoMoCo, I may have to experiment when it's not so damned cold then! Probably going to get some paint from the "local" 5 Below store, turns out they had some interesting colors there for cheap.
