you should try an outomotive paint with a good primer and clear coat. it will still scratch. but not as much as useing lexan paint. i have painted plastics before with this method and good results. the hardest problem i had was finding the right colors

I would say go with the automotive plastic paint they make for like car dashes...

IMO instead of painting it you should go out and buy some orange dye. It'll work much better over a long term. I forget the exact type of dye but I'm sure one of the others will tell you.

You can find the dye at most grocery stores, Wal-Mart are similar places, the name brand is Rit. The dye soaks into the plastic and it will not come off.

Thanks Smaxxin I had forgotten the name of the dye.

The dye is in the laundry detergent section at walmart. Much better choice than painting. It wont chip and scratch like paint will.

As long as the wheels you have are dieable I would go with RIT dye, I used to dye all my Associated RC10 parts back in the day when thay only came in white, man that was a long time ago, nothing like a big pot of boiling water some RIT dye and bunch of rc parts, I can smell it now!!!!!
