Can i get chameleon paint in a can? If so, does it work well on R/C bodies?

myst your wrong they do sell it. its a paint system 2 cans for $40. but its not ment for rc bodies but what u can do to keep it from chipping is clean the inside of your body really well then sand the innerbody with 220 grit paper ( not the windows) then proceed to spray it on the body thats all! there was a thread here about it but iforgot what it was called.

I would like comments on this also.
Yesterday, I asked Parma the question, and they mentioned that Dupont might.

Sanding the inside of you body wont stop it from chipping. While other paints may work for a display body, they wont hold up to running and racing. My understanding is that Lexan paints not only have a flex agent, but also "eat" into the body slightly, bonding too and being part of it.

The paint in the spray can is called Harlequin or something like that, and it comes in a 3 can combo, primer, color, and clear. You will only need the color. Its the same as Chromolusion but made by a different person. It is alot cheaper by spray cans because they are only 35$$ while and ounce of the harlequin cost 35$$ so the cans are by far cheaper. I have a bike painted up to change colors, if you want i can post a pic of it for yall to see.

<font color="#0000FF">I knew a guy who took his body to PPG and got it done
for about $40.&nbsp; It turned out nice and it did not chip.</font></p> http://www.plauder-smilies.de/spin3.gif
