Ok I just received my proline blazer body from eBay. Due to the fact that I have no local hobby store I went to micheals. Is testors one coat lacquer ok to use on the body? This is all I found. Is it ok to use or should I return and order other paint? I would like the body to last. Thanks for any help.

I have been using the testors RC Lacquer paint for a long time with good results in most all my airbrushed shells....

You might want to try that on a scrap piece first? I have never seen it in that type can before....

Yes try it on some scrap pieces and after it is dry flex it and see that the paint does not crack off the lexan.... also before you paint the shell wash it out well with dish soap and dry it well to remove oils and fingerprints from the inside...
I always trim my shells and punch any mounting holes and test fit it to the truck before i even mask it....
Clean after all trimmed and then mask and then wash it again to remove any unwanted prints from masking....

You should also buy a small container of denatured alcohol and a couple lint free cloths to wipe it down with before putting on any paint... doing so will give you a clean surface for your work....
