Before use, mix the paint well by shaking the container, at least 1 minute is recommended.

Painting a Lexan body: First of all, be aware that lexan bodies are usually sprayed from the inside (so the paint doesn't rub off when bumped). That is why, especially in the case of multi-colored body modification, it is necessary to think very well in advance about the spraying process. First, very thoroughly degrease the inner surface of the body using Tamiya Polycarbonate Body Cleaner (87118) or kitchen cleaning detergent. Then cover the windows with masking tape/foil or liquid mask. Then mask all body parts that are to be a different color than the first visible shade (for multi-colored bodies). Apply the paint in an even thin layer from a distance of 20-30 cm. It is better to gradually apply 2-3 thin layers than one thick one. After spraying the first thin layer, look over the body against the light to see if the paint covers everything. Spray the translucent areas again, but only after the first layer has dried. Remove the protective mask before applying the next color. To highlight the body color, it is good to spray a thin layer of white, black, or silver paint at the very end (depending on whether the body color is light, dark, or metallic). This will highlight the body color itself and make it look nicer.

Drying time: The paint dries to the touch within 20-30 minutes, but it takes at least 4 hours to fully dry, depending on the thickness of the layer. It is recommended to wait at least 12-24 hours before spraying with a new layer.

Cleaning the nozzle: After spraying, turn the container upside down and briefly press the valve. Wipe the remains of the paint from the nozzle with a dry cloth, or soaked in cleaner for airbrushes, e.g. Tamiya Airbrush Cleaner or another brand.
