What type of paint should i use?

[Frank211]

What type of paint should i use to paint the driver,i need to see him good, not all in black?
Since its lexan, should i use lexan paint,or just some type of paint markers?

Also what kind of paint markers y'all suggest? Sharpies perhaps?

Thanks again guys!

Since it's lexan, I'd say go with the PS paint, but it will require a lot of masking to get the details. Maybe if you sand him lightly, you could apply normal paint with a small brush? If it won't get scratched it should last OK

Sharpies work well on lexan, but rub off after awhile.Lexan paint is the best bet. You can lay down a coat of lexan pain then put down normal paints over it. I hear acrylic paints work, but I have 0 experience with them

From my experience you can easily get away with brushing any paint on the interior panels as they aren’t subject to the impact stress of a lexan shell. Personally I would just put a coat of clear ps paint on first and let it cure. This will help with adherence of the brushed paint and any minor flexibility issues you might encounter.

This area is protected from scratches so I'd just brush paint from the outside with Testors. May help to spray with primer first so you don't need as much paint to get good coverage if you're going to lighten it up.

That's how I did the interior of my Scorpion, only I wasn't smart enough to primer it first. When done, I sprayed it all with flat clear to get rid of the gloss. You can see a photo toward the end of this thread:
