paint thinner will haze the lexan. use denatured acohol or brake fluid. it takes time to get all the paint off and alot of patients.

also here is a link to a video of the track i have in my garage. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IM9QXLPiBYY

Awesome body! I wouldn't have the patience to try and paint a design on such a small truck body.
