Only use lexan/polycarbonate compatible paints. Other paint types don't adhere or flex well, which leads to cracking and flaking. It's best to stick to one brand as well to avoid unwanted interactions.

Lexan-specific paint will give you a paint job that will stick no matter how hard you bash on your body. Companies such as Duratrax, Parma, and Tamiya have paints that are made for the job.

While you can paint an old RC body, you will need to remove the paint first. Spray or coat your RC body in a chemical paint stripper made for polycarbonate lexan. Leave the stripping chemical on the RC body for the time directed on the cleaner's instructions (usually 3-12 hours).

Step 7: Remove all glue joints and let the finished painted body dry for 12 to 24 hours at room temperature. Done!
