Hey; what kind of paint sticks well to the soft plastic tracks. I've always had problems with it flaking off. I want to paint some of my plain plastic tracks.

I have used the water based ones with no problems so far. Acrylics never "dry" it seems.

i think Kim means enamals (oil based paints) never dry. Acrylics are water based paints and work best.....if you're still going to push the tank around on it's tracks i think you'll find that pretty much any paint you use will wear off to some extent. Only industrial grade paints, that are used at the factory, will be relatively permanent.

Sounds good, I don't "play" with my models. TAke'em down, dust and admire, put'em back. I'll try acrylics out on my Chaffee.
