Airbrush paint for rc bodies?

[AIan]

Hi Everybody, getting an airbrush and want to get the correct paint for rc bodies. Does anyone have any suggestions, and maybe a link or two of some decent paints, that might be reasonably priced?

Hi

Here is a starting point Pro-Line Body Paint, you can find lower prices if you do a google search.

Duratrax, Spaz Stix, Parma, Proline, Pactra(made by Testors) and Tamiya all make great paint. Just make sure it is for polycarbonate.

I use Parma Faskolor for my ABS and lexan bodies. I also have sprayed some lexan bodies with Createx, but it is best to give the Createx a final coat with a couple light coats of Rustoleum or Krylon clear.

This is all Faskolor. Love their metallics...

Most of your airbrush rc paint is water based now. Proline, Parma and pactra for sure. Your only getting poly based if you buy spray cans these days

I did not know that.

Most Spaz Stix paint is enamel. I just got some of their colors, but haven't used it much other than the white. I have a booth with external exhaust hose, but even with that, it still stunk up my hobby room just opening the cap. Good paint though.

Pactra is listed as lacquer paint even in the spray can.

Thanks. That is an old project I still need to finish. Kinda put it on hold waiting for parts, then got onto something else. This is a WPL C16 crawler build btw. 3d printed cage and bed.
