    whatever your LHS has in stock that is designed to stick to lexan. some shops might be out of certain brands. and some might not carry certain brands. how bout telling us what colorws you are going for.

    For first time painting stick with acrylics, because easier to clean up.

    Spray cans from your LHS are OK, but can be expensive.

    Investing in an airbrush is expensive at first, but can be used for RC bodies, softball/baseball helmets, t-shirts, hats, etc.

    I've used Faskolor and Pactra from my LHS and have worked well.

    Pactra spray paint works well for me. Steer clear of Tamiya, but I only use spray paint because it is quick and easy and cheap.
