Painting Lexan Interiors

[norco kid]

What is the best way to paint lexan interiors with drivers (ex. Yeti/Bomber). Should we mask and paint everything from the inside like a traditional lexan body? I was thinking of spraying it black from the inside and then painting the driver's suit and details by hand from the outside.

After painting the details on the outside, hit the whole interior with PS55 to seal it . Tip... cut parts of the exterior film as a painting mask.

I do mine just like Mike said. Use the outside film for masking. The film seals great and leaves crisp lines.

What paint are you using to do the brushing on detail?

I really struggled on the 10.3 to get paint into the narrows from underneath with a can. Still not happy but I think it will do for now. For the driver I did remove the mask from the top in select areas likes the drivers hands etc.

I used this paint that I found at Walmart to paint the driver figure.

It is out of the new Axial SCX10.3

What do you use to paint lexan interiors tan? I don't see any polycarbonate spray paints available in tan.

I was figuring on painting the top since it won't be touched by anything, and it would reduce the sheen.

Your welcome!

Just an FYI, these paints are for plastics. They probably won’t stick well to lexan.
