Default Need to reprint body's...

I've 2 jeep body's, lexan, painted them in a hurry because fun.. after a little use the paint has started flaking off on the inside. Boke, what's my chances of rubbing the paint off, re masking windows and painting properly? Any advice at all please.

Did you wash the lexan bodies prior to paint? What paint are you using and at what temperature did you apply it at?

I washed the body first, made sure it was completely dry, used the proper tamiya paint. I think it was too cold tho, I done it in my shed (which has no heater) so maybe the paint and body was too cold? That would cause it to flake? I want the try and remove as much paint in the inside of the body and have another go. If I make a mess of it I can call it practice lol. Thanks for the replys.
