Default Painting a VW baja

I have a proline baja body I want to paint. I know I have to paint from the bottom, and use paint made for the lexan. What I dont know is what paint to use for an airbrush?

ProLine has a new line of paints, similar to Faskolor by Parma.

Does have a learning curve as it’s WB

I did this for the wife , first time with ProLine paint, worked pretty good after some reduction and pressure adjustments.

How well is the Proline paint holding up for you?

I’m impressed, I was able to shoot at lower psi vs Parma or Auto Air.
Seems to stick well, nothing chipping or peeling. I used Black, Fuchsia, Hot Pink, White, Black, semi matte clear outside.
All reduced a bit differently, common with most WB paints

Should work, it would get sealed in. I would spray some PS 55 first though
