DONT SPRAY IT WITH NORMAL CAR PAINT

it reacts with the lexan, which flex's, and wont stick in anyway, and will flake off

you need to buy a paint from a model shop by someone like custom colour ot pactra that is proper lexan paint thats flex;s with the shell

no you cant, lexan is 1-2mm thick

when you spray lexan shells you are supposed to still see through it when you hold it up to light, if you cna you have sprayed it to thickley, normal paint wont achive this if an additive has been added to it
