Very well. It's paint intended to stick to Lexan. Once it has about 24-48 hours to cure, you're probably not getting it off very easily. It holds up as well as could be expected, plus you can touch it up relatively easily with Sharpies.

The overspray film is VERY thin. You really only need a slight drag of a very sharp new #11 blade to cut through the film. Some bodies are very thin in certain areas, and it's easy to over-do it. I had an area on the front of the J71 spoiler that suffered the same fate. Nothing a little filament tape and Shoe-Goo can't fix, though. '
