My first lexan paint job
This was just a practice job. I will be ordering a new shell soon and wanted to practice on this shell. It came pre-painted with a THICK coat of green 
It took about a week of paper towels and dot4 to get the paint off and there are still a few spots were the green is still noticeable but again this was practice for me. I sprayed with a metallic silver and used enamel for the stripe and the rear lights. here are some before and after pics. Feedback??

Thank you!! New body arrives soon. Mitsubishi Eclipse Gen2 
Gonna buy some real rattle cans and do a way better job of masking this time. Thinking of black, silver and some shade of blue. IDK yet though. Any ideas?

Thanks for the input. Hadnt thought of white but those 4 colors sound like a good combo. And yea no drifting around the dog..he attacks anything that moves lmao
