What paint should I use? I want to spray it a nice colour, is it polycarbonate or lexan or soemthing? Thanks, Lee

That's a lexan ( polycarbonate ) body Lee . You need to use Tamiya Ps paints , The paint is sprayed on the inside and usually needs backing with either black or white depending on what colour you decide on . Decals are then applied on the outside of the body . Don't forget to leave the window masks in place lol . Sounds obvious but I've seen it done .

Thanks. I want to go for a light/lime green, the paints on ebay dont specify whether they are spray or not?

Can anyone post a link of a light green spray please if not too much trouble? Also, a compatible paint to back it with too (i take it that just means like a protector coat on the green after its dried?) never done this before (as you can see lol).

Tamiya PS-8 light green or PS-28 fluorescent green are your only light green choices in Tamiya spray paint - back normally with white (PS-1) but backing with black (PS-5) would darken the colour. wouldn't recommend the black backing on the fluorescent green though.

Fastrax do several green polycarbonate sprays too - just search ebay for Fastrax paint. Fastrax paints are just as good, they spray finer and drier than Tamiya paints (and the can is bigger too)
