judging by the little information i could find about them they appear to be for plastic (glue together) models.. i have serious doubts about them sticking to lexan better than the brush on testers paint you can find at walmart

check the local art supply houses for either of these three lines of paint..

createx

fascolor

createx auto air (might be sold as 'auto air") (this paint might also be sold at places that supply paint for custom automobile painting)

either of those will work very well and are all water based
