hey, I want to paint or rather spray paint some parts of my Nitro evader, parts like the shock towers, A-arms, bulkheads ETC. They are al the stock plastic, i have a can of red spray paint (Same kind I used to paint a body).
Anything I should know before starting? will it come off easily?
I know this is silly, but Im just bored of the same looks and Im bored, so please help me out with some feedback, thanks people...

ive done that with my xxxt for the same reason. i painted the front and rear shock towers along with all arms and center brace silver. to tell you the truth i think it turned out pretty well but i used polyuathene... i dont know if i spelled that right, over top of the paint to give it protection along with a shiny look. worked pretty well other than i want it to be a different color now haha

Hey on my quake I used stuff called PlastI-Dip in a spraycan. Its a rubber type paint that is used to insulate tools and such. There are several colors red blue yellow green. The stuff is tuff durable resists chemicals (nitro). I did all the plastic parts. The lower susp arms are what will get the most abuse and after gallons of use has held up very well. I got it at LOWES
Here I got a pic you see the susp arms are red and the hub-carriers blue
