Painting outside of lexan driver?

Recommended Posts

The driver that came with the pre painted tyrrell P34 body is lexan and not life like so I want to repaint the outside adding some shading, highlights etc.  Car will be shelf queen, so wondered if a simple airbrush primer then acrylic paints would do the job.  Would happily finish with a Matt varnish if it helped it stay on.

Any thoughts please?

Thanks

don't bother with primer... just paint PS1 White or PS12 Silver then paint anything you want on top of that. Nothing keys into lexan better than PS.

Acrylics will tolerate mild handling but clearcoat will help durability.

I always paint my Wild One drivers on the outside , the 'hi-gloss' look  just isn't right when it's painted from the inside . I use plastic primer then Tamiya acrylics . I did paint my Ultima driver on the outside too and finished it off with a clear matt coat .
