I was lazy and flipped my car over with body on to sauce it. I'd done this alot with my rubber tire sedan, but those tires don't have all the tread to channel the sauce to the bottom of tire and drip on body. Anyhow, where Paragon dripped on the body it completely removed Testors Model Masters Paint.. In my shop I later tested on scrap lexan with House of Kolor paint and saw the problem. Yes, I shouldn't sauce the car that way.... But, I also want to protect the body from tire sauce.. So far the answer seems to be Pactra.. I bought several rattle cans and they work fine.. I bought a jar of Pactra paint to airbrush and I'll test that next.
