Beige spray for polycarbonate body

[Billy CZ]

Hello guys. I would like to ask you for your help to find beige spray (matt) for lexan body or any ideas how to solve it? I would like to paint my new Traction Hobby Founder 2 Jeep Wrangler with beige colour but I found out it is a big problem. Colours in sprays for PC are very limited. I wanted to use Tamiya PS but I don´t see any interesting colour so I spent 10 hours with searching and I didn´t find aby similar colour in spray for lexan body (Tamiya, Duratrax, LRP, Spaz Stix, Pactra, RC Car color, Revell..). I´m amateur and this will by my first try to spray the body, I had before RTR cars with colored body from production. I think the only one possibiity is to use Tamiya PS-55 + some colour not suitable for PC or to change the color to white, black... I found many krylon and rust-oleum sprays for plastics in beige/antique white but they are not directly for lexan. any idea?

Either follow the tips in this thread:

Or purchase the Pro-Line bottled airbrush paint in Mojave Sand color:

and use an airbrush.

Finally, coat with a matte clear if the finish has too much gloss.

Thank you Durok. This is exactly the color what I would like to use. Maybe some friend of mine has an airbrush or I will be forced to use PS-55 + other non PC colour.

Might be worth testing this on some extra bits of PC (wish I kept some). Not to be a shill for one paint company over another but one does stand out. All the camo colours are amazing. Im tempted to call it military-grade, and who knows, there might be a connection. Quality paint that goes on smooth, dries fast, and sticks to EVERYTHING I have tried it on (unfortunately, Lexan is the one surface I have yet to try).

Nice, thank you for the tip.

I found this, it is very near to the colour I would like to use. Maybe somebody will find other colours so this could help.
