RCD paint recommendation

[chuck3]

I'm looking into getting a new body for my AS. the one i have now is beat up pretty bad. my Q is, what do you guys recommend for an RCD paint? the only stipulation is that it has to be available in a hardware store.
thanks in advance everybody!

Forgive my ignorance, but what is "AS" and "RCD"?

LMAO, I was thinking the exact same thing Candyman. I have no clue what he means.

Why does it need to be at your hardware store? I dont know what RCD means, but I get all my paints from amainhobbies.com. They have a really good selection and really fast shipping on everything.

 

[chuck3]

AS is aftershock, its a losi MT. and RCD is a fancy acronym for spray paint, "Rattle Can Deluxe". sorry for the confusion fellas!

Most good paints for the RC car and truck shells are not sold at a hardware store. The paints sold at the hardware store don't stick to the shell and crack and peel. You might try a good hobby store online such as Tower hobbies.

would a basic paint designed for plastic work?

You need a paint that is for Lexan or Polycarbonate.

 

[Buggyracer28]

Yeah, if it is not specially for Lexan or Polycarbonate, you will get serious flaking and the paint will chip right off. Companies such as Pactra, Parma, SpazStix and Auto-Air, etc are specially made to bond to the lexan, be flexible and very hard to chip off.
