| Olive Drab for Lexan
Does anybody know of a Lexan paint color that will replicate this olive drab seen on the JConcepts Creep body? I know I can spray the paint on the outside or coat the body with Tamiya PS-55 for the matte look, but I can't find a polycarbonate paint color similar to this. I have reached out to JConcepts, but I'm assuming I'll get the default answer something like "we have somebody do our painting therefore we are unable to get that information." |

Paint the outside with lexan color, then you can spray any paint over top of that. Krylon makes a sweet olive color. Camo paint for plastics and fabric. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk |

Then a PS base followed by regular paint is the only solution I'm aware of. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk |

Painting the outside, Rustoleum has spray paints for plastic, they may have a matte OD, or a close to it green. Prob cheaper than Tamiya unless you already have it.

Most important fact is lexan IS SMOOTH..... so it likes a light scuff, BUT FIRST remove all mold release and oils with alcohol or Painters degrease and wax remover, or they can smear everywhere when scuffing or handling. Hang up and Drive |

Dawn works best, inside and outside for releasing mold agents and body oils, dry thoroughly (12-24) hours, watch your humidity & temp, PS paint inside or outside against lexan, follow up with any acrylic or enamel
