I'm not so sure if that would work, I think it would spray on ok but them sorts of paint don't have the flexibility/adhesion to the plastic of the paints that are for polycarbonate, I'm pretty sure they would just flake off as soon as the body was used

In most cases, car paints in aerosol form is celluose based paint so it will not be suitable unfortunately. Water based paints such as createx & faskolor are the way to go, contact Jon at RCS mate he'll point you in the right direction
