If you choose to use the Testors Model Masters paint on lexan bodies, make sure to use the Lacquer paints and not the acrylic or enamel paints. Here is a link to their Auto Lacquer Paints (http://www.testors.com/category/1369..._Lacquer_Paint).

As far as body prep, I always clean out the inside of my lexan bodies with warm water and dish soap. In the case of the 'Cuda I scuffed up the inside of the body with the Scotch Pad side of a dish sponge. Make sure to not scuff up the clear areas like windows.

I always paint with rattle cans. I make sure to paint in light coats, especially the first coat of paint. Between coats I use a hair dryer to speed up drying.
