THIS PAINT RULES!!!! and no I do not work for parma. I paint rc bodies professionally and this is the paint. I paint all brands, Proline, jconcepts, traxxas, team, ect. and it bonds with all. The paint outlasts the body. I have tried other paints and this paint has all them beat. What I love about the paint is its very workable. Its dry time is very fast. By the time I change colors its dry. So no in between color down time. Also it doesn't have that rubbery feel that some water based lexan paints do. So I can apply many coats over a laytex mask and I wont have to re-cut my mask lines because the paint fused with the laytex. The paint has no fumes like oil based paint so i can airbrush indoors with a dustmask. The one thing you have to do when your finished with your paint job is spray a sealer coat. The paint by itself can wash away with water, (can be a good thing if you make a mistake), so I use a waterbased sealer like "auto-air colors" or a spay can of lexan body paint to seal.
I have bookshelves of Airbrush paint, and this paint is the best working with the least hassle. The colors are great, not having to thin the mixture is also a plus. I don't understand why paint would get a bad review... I've painted not only for myself, but for friends and customers and they all ask me what paint I use. I spray this, let it dry overnight, back it with a white coat and after that dries I use duct tape to protect the rub spots on the body (sides/body-mounts/exhaust etc...) I've yet to find a better paint for the price.
Faskolor is great if you use it right. Always back your paintjob with a spray enamel for protection. I use rustoleum grey gloss enamel from a spray can. I have painted dozes of bodies for people and nobody complains about the paint lasting, the paint lasts longer than the lexan shell that it's sprayed on. No backer, no protection....this is why people have issues... parmas website even recommends backing the paint, read and follow instructions before bashing an amazing product. I use an Iwata HP-CR, standard tip, paint not thinned, running at 20-30 psi.
This is great paint. I have painted many bodies with this paint for pro and club racers and it works great and is very durable. come on? Everyone know's faskolor is one of the best paints for lexan bodies.
Parmas claim that their paint "actually becomes part of the body" is completely false. To become a part of the body there has to be some sort of bond and if you can wash it off with water then no bond has occurred. I realize that it is a water base paint, but there are other water base paints (in other industries) that can hold up to harsher solvents than water after they cure. Highly disipointed
Reviews are sharply split. Several professional and experienced painters rate the paint highly, citing easy workability, fast drying, no need to thin, good colours, and durability when the paint is backed with a spray enamel or aluminium tape. Others, including several 1-star reviews, report that the paint adheres poorly to lexan, scratches easily, peels, or washes off with water even after careful surface preparation. The main recurring problem is adhesion and durability without a protective topcoat. Reviewers agree the paint is easy to apply. Most reviews do not specify the variant beyond the 2oz Fasblack bottle.
