On the other hand, the Tamiya PS-14 Copper looks really good.
Pactra used to make a gold paint that I preferred over the Tamiya. Not sure if the Testors One Coat Lacquer Inca Gold would work on an RC body. It is Lacquer based, so it should stick but it probably wouldn't bond very well. (EDIT: was confirmed in post below that it will work. Thanks mooby64)
I've been tempted to try some Rustoleum 2x rattle can paint for plastics on an r/c car body. I should pick up a cheap body and do a one color bomb and see how it handles racing on the track.

The Tamiya PS-13 Gold rattle can is very translucent and looks too yellow for my tastes.

The body can take a good beating too. I had the trunk caved in during a race by another car. Finished the race and didn't even have a handling issue. Popped the lexan back out and didn't even have a scratch on the paint.

I thought someone posted that Duplicolor worked, but I haven't tried it yet.
