If you know the guys behind the counter then talk to them and see if they'll sell you smaller amounts. It really depends on the color and the person mixing it. You'll just have to see what they're willing to do. Let them know that you want the low end paint and base coat is fine for what you need. I think Oreillys carries Nason for a low end.

Coming from a kid who makes $1200 a month, and your worried you might spend to much money on paint?...



And like everyone else said,
You CAN'T fix it.

Don't be ridiculous. It's much easier to use a roller.

I give up. You CAN'T fix it...


Rolex, pal, can you bend the rules just this once? Please, for the love of sanity's sake!

Sorry, can't do it. Besides, reading these threads makes me think that I'M sane. :


Quart, you can either get your paints for the airbrush through Tower on line or find a local art supply and get them there, or go to a local hardware store and get Rustoleum or Krylon in a rattle can. You don't have a lot of options with Lexan.
If you buy auto paint, you'll need to have the flex agent added to it. No problem if you're willing to spend $115 a quart, quaart.

This is exactly why folks get frustrated with you. You make great money for a kid and you obviously don't have a problem spending it at Oriellys... then you complain about the cost of a 2oz. bottle of r/c paint? C'mon man, seriously..

Rolex is right bud. Save yourself some headache and purchase the proper paint online. Then if you have questions about painting we'll be able to help you rather than tell you we don't know because you're using automotive paint. It's just easier if you purchase hobby items for your hobby. You'll get more consistant results and you'll have a better idea what to expect, plus you'll get help that will actually help rather than throwing darts blindly.

This is not a cheap hobby kid. I'm sorry to say it but if you're gonna complaint about every 10 or $15 purchase then you need to find a less expensive vise.

Please read the rules, squaat.

I'm not real opinionated either way. When I first got into te hobby I was painting cars so all of my lids got candied or flaked for nothing. Of course when you use candy it will kindof act as flex and most base coats are urethane based and work fairly well on lexan. Even single stage for the most part has gon to Acrylic urethane instead of enamel. Basiclly you hardly have to use flex period in the industry anymore even though some car manufacturers will suggest it. I've used hobby paint as well and its not any better or worse for me. JMHO qaart is going to do whatever the heck he wants regardless of what the rest of us have to say anyways. I think hes on here just to agitate the rest of us. I was only trying to help him in the beginning of this and the kid just does'nt listen. For all I care he can use water color.

That certainly is the standard that he has set for himself.

HIM: so what do you guys think about this?

EVERYBODY ELSE: I think you should do this...

HIM: well, I don't think that's a good idea. I'm gonna do it the cheapest and most ineffective way possible anyways.

EVERYBODY ELSE: you're a moron.
