consumer alert: don't buy duratrax spray paint. i was looking for some candy blue paint, since pactra went out of business & thought i'd give it a try. horrible result with little coverage & definitely NOT candy blue. the solid colors might be okay, but i'll stick with tamiya.

Some have said though that the Tamiya PC paint has changed and is not sticking to Lexan.

The only thing bad about Retro is admitting that you remember doing it originally.

I know, I was using the PC for Polycarbonate for short.

Tony P said the same thing. I guess I'll find out; I'm returning this paint for a can of Tamiya.

And just to mention, some of the House of Kolors Shimrin refuses to stick to Lexan. For certain the red.
I haven't tried many so cannot comment on any other color

Craig good point and the line that HOK sold that was supposed to be good for Lexan turned out to be horrible and they don't even sell it anymore.

FWIW............I've used Tamiya exclusively for the last 2 years or so and have observed no issues with sticking to lexan. I have to admit that sometimes I'm not all that diligent about the washing of the inside but still no problems. I will say that I have coverage issues with most of the semi-translucent colors in shades of blue. I have tried translucent blue and flourescent blue but not candy. The flouro and translucent seem to be better in other colors. Solid shades of blue offer no problems.
