There's no latex in "latex" paint, hasn't been for many many moons. If weight is an issue, I would recommend against typical "house paints" as they have sooooo much solids in them for hiding properties-- and those solids tend to have names like cristobalite, mica, and silica-- they're all chock full of minerals for either adhesion, wear resistance, or sheen. "Painters" acrylics in the tube would be the better option (I assume.) I'm sticking to rattle cans because over the years, I've come to loathe painting polycarbonate bodies. A single $9 can of Duplicolor will paint 2-3 short course sized bodies. And quickly. The dry time is in the single digits, and it's fully cured in less than 24 hours-- because what's in that can is over 50% solvent.
If I didn't hate painting bodies I would be intrigued by tube acrylic, but wonder how it manages to find adhesion with no solvent. The rattle can stuff bites really hard, to the point where the spray is inside the material more so than just a coating.
