I really suck at painting. I mean I am terrible. I try but anything more than 1 color and you can bet it is going to look like a 1st grader painted my body shells. The only thing I am worse at is soldering. If I had to paint or solder something to...

I actually use paint pens quite a bit, my wife actually introduced them to me, am sure you could find them on Amazon (i bought mine at Michael’s) everything front thin to fat tipped. Hope that helps.

Well, I was going to get all fancy like and use an airbrush but my equipment was in sad shape... bummer. I'll have to pick up a new one or try to rebuild it. To keep moving forward and have a painted body for this month's (Feb) build contest I...

It won't be immediate but with a little patience you will find what you need.
I am going to be airbrushing the body for my restore of a RC10 B stamp Kit 6011. I have an airbrush and know how to use it but need to know what brand of paint is good for the lexan bodies? Kind of would like to get a list together of what I will...

OK, I know, they don't have the tenacious grip and hard finish on the lexan that Tamiya PS paints and other polycarbonate paints offer.
I think they bond quite well to Lexan when you back the final paint job with FasKoat, Krylon or Rustoleum Clear...
