If you use spray bomb paint thats not specifically designed for the poly bodies eventually it will fail. Your best bet for non RC body paint is first a coat of Bulldog and few light coats of a "laquer based" spray bomb. Never use Enamel, It will flake off on the first crash.

I wonder how well something like acrylic urethane single stage would do? You can get it in all kinds of colors and it is super cheap if you buy it by the quart (good if you had a few bodies that you wanted the same color).
I may have to give the adhesion promoter a try (I will most likely use rm 865 1k plastic primer, it is clear and sprays thru a std gun) with the next body. Hell if it sticks paint to plastic bumpers it must be pretty good.
