Dear friends: Tamiya X1 paint marker on lexan?

Dear folk of the forum,
Would you be so good as to give your opinions on this question?
Could I use a Tamiya X1 paint marker to touch up a lexan body?
Just tiny areas really but don't want to melt the shell. I need a black touch-up options, don't want to spend another £5 + £6 shipping on a whole can of PS-5. Seems like brushable Tamiya black for polycarbonate is a thing of the past.

Many thanks in advance.

I guess You can do it that way - and then back it with a piece of black scotch super 88 or 33

So, Tamiya used to offer a nice gray lexan paint, yet there's a mystery about it. The top cap, where the part number would be, was just PS . There was no number after the PS like on ALL of their other paints. Depending on where you look, you may or...

So the body that first had clear sparkle put on, and then the gray Humbrol, is holding up fine. It seems the Humbrol holds well to other paints, it just needs something else to hold better to the lexan. So for anyone wanting to use gray (my favorite...

I'm sure I've read it somewhere, but I can't remember for the life of me what is safe to use on them without hazing the lexan.

I know Castrol Super Clean is a good product to use on plastics, I've used it to strip paint off many plastics (Tamiya...

I just put a little bit of fuel in a bowl and use a paint brush dipped in it to gently scrub the paint off.

i am currently in the process of refurbishing my rs4mt and rc10t. For my 10T, I picked up a HPI Nitro MT hummer type shell. I am wanting to do a snow camo job for it.

What would be the best way to do it- liquid mask or using stencile?

Another way...

I'm trying to get a certain color for a 1/10 '67 Corvette body. I can't find the exact color match in Tamiya, or Duratrax polycarb spray paints.

I've seen some people say that if the inside of a lexan body is roughed up with a green pad to produce...

Said I'd provide the 976 Marina Blue Metallic paint color match, with the real one, here it is.

Pretty close match, and it could be the real thing that's a bit off. Happy with the outcome, overall.

The auto paint over the PS-55...

I have been trying to get some Sandglow yellow or Camel trophy yellow for some time now but no luck. As this is RC10Talk you probably are familiar with Tamiya Camel yellow which is the correct box art color for an RC10. but you also know it is...

I used the camel yellow, backed with yellow and then silver. It is very close.
