On my stadium truck, i have the back of it painted candy purple and the front flouresent Green and its faded together. I rolled it end over end 6 times and the whole front of it (the bumper) all the green flaked off. I even sprayed silver over it three times. But the wierd thing is, is that the purple is fine and both the colors are made for lexan (i dont think there pactra or parma paints but it DID say made for lexan on the side of the can) please tell me what i can do to stop this, anybody

Sorry, no picture

I painted an awesome body for my little brother that did the same thing. we found out later that it wasn't polycarbonate paint. the color on your body that flaked off was not apolycarbonate paint and it didn't stick as well as the other stuff.

Sometimes, if you apply the paint too thick it will do that too. I have had this happen on slotcar bodies as well as r/c bodies.
