Polyurethane auto paint on RC bodies?

[Buncrana]

Has anyone here ever tried it? I know the old lacquer paints made for cars would not work but I am told the newer polyurethane paints are more pliable so they would tend not to chip. So...anyone?

I'm not to sure on that but Krylon make a paint called fusion and its made just for plastics. I used it on my T-Maxx body on the exterior and it has held out really nice. I've had a couple small chips but nothing major, I think with a coat of clear and it would hold out even better.

I used House of kolor auto paint on my lid, and it worked fine.. I mixed it up just as I would to spray a vehicle and it worked like a charm.

Well, since I can get it for free and mixed to any color I want, I am gonna give it a try and let you know how it turns out. I'll put it on a body for the Savage so it gets a beating.
