Just wondering what is good paint to use to paint a body for a nitro truck?

TEXT

Faskolor, but there are many other brands. Faskolor you do not need to thin out the paint! I use an airbrush to paint my r/c bodies!

Since you specify "nitro truck" I am going to presume that you are concerned about the paint being fuel-resistant. Almost none of the RC paints, by themselves, are that good against nitro fuel.

Many people like to add a sealer coat of enamel spraypaint, like Krylon or RustoLeum to add more protection against fuel contact. It seems "the glossier the better" is a good rule to follow, and Clears really offer a lot of protection.

Other folks will go so far as to apply truck bed liner material, or undercoating spray, Shoo Goo, or Plasti-Dip (tool handle coating) in efforts to preserve their paintjobs.

To tell you guys the truth I'm hopin to spray paint it but would using a brush be better?

Airbrush yes, Paint brush No..!

If your planning on a single colour, just grab yourself a can of tamiya spray paint (for polycarbonate) and a can of nitro block (or as Dave suggested some other type of clear/ fuel repellent paint).

spray the colour, leave to dry and then back with nitro block.

Job done!

I still shoot lacquer, it cures much faster.
