I am not sure if this is the right place to ask this question, but I think it is the same type of plastic used on commercial models.
I need to paint a Kyosho Mini z body and do not have an unpainted one to start with.
The one that I really want to paint will not be available in time to use in the race I am painting a body for. My husband might let me re-paint one of his other bodies with the factory paintjobs. preferably one that he has scuffed,
I want to paint his racing colors on a body and adher decals that I can print to match his lexan bodies.
I am used to painting lexan but not the hard plastic bodies that the Mini Z's have. Getting used to painting on the outside will be something different.
I am wondering If there is some kind of primer that will adhere to the gloss surface of the car or some type of treatment that will cause the paint to adhere well but not damage the windshield that is already attached to a prepainted body. (Meaning I don't think I can dip it)
(Not a problem for the white bodies as the windshield is not attached yet) I will have to mask off the windshield on the prepainted body when I air brush the body.
I also need recomendations on the type of paint to use with this type of plastic body and the type of finish (clear coating) to apply when done. I assume some type of paint that requires a thinner cleanup. Am I right??
