Thanks RM and Broman C-racer you know the OH said while I was out and about to pick her up some hard as nails so I snagged me a bottle for my slots.
I was using ultra thin CA to coat the fronts, but it is starting to wear off and the brand is Sally Hansen stuff.

I hope that someone Know about the lacquers so I can finish my dirt truck cause I can't find the color in enamel and since I don't have a air brush I don't feel like mixing paint to the color I want.

I've used both Testors and Tamiya Lacquer Spray paints on most of my cars. Much better than enamel. Never had any problem. Never done any vac-formed cars though.

i use CA glue from different manufacturers to glue and coat the front tires. i could not track down any difference for 1/43rd cars.

i only use enamel colors on vac-formed bodies, only because i have all those little revell tins around.

Thank you Gunney and Pfuetze I decided to go with the finger nail polish this time cause I notice when the CA glue started to wear down that the brand I'm using started to become uneven and flake off a bit.

Thanks for the lacquer info so now I can get the paint color for my dirt truck.

I use that Hard as Nails stuff too. No problem so far with it reacting with urethane tires

Has anyone tried urethane clear-coat like the kind you would use on wood trim? I have thoughts about trying it.
