Yes, this lacquer spray is formulated for polycarbonate (lexan) RC bodies and is commonly used for that purpose.
Light cleaning is recommended but aggressive sanding is not advised on polycarbonate; follow standard body prep to remove dust and oils prior to spraying.
Drying times vary with conditions, but allow each thin coat to dry fully; handle with care until the finish hardens to avoid fingerprints or marks.
Clearcoating can be used for extra protection, but ensure compatibility with lacquer finishes and test on a scrap piece first.
