how do u color trucks?

so i colored some trucks with nail polish and a super shiny nail clear coat but it scratches off wat else could i use?

laqure it or just keep re painting it...

Well i used to aqrilike paint them and then just laguer them and let it sit for 1-2 hrs and re do it.

yea that works the best....

use model paint,spray paint,sharpie

yes, but then you have to lacquer it

You need to anodize the trucks which is bad to your health

yea it is so if you do it look it up before you do it.

yea thats what actually makes the paint stay way way longer

GO TO A HOBBY STORE. ASK FOR A SMALL BRUSH AND ACRILIC PAINT (STICKS TO METAL) AND THERE YA GO I USE THAT.

if you use paint laquer it a couple of times too

Thanks im gonna try that. I used nail polish and then a clear coat on that and worked pretty good but it still comes off a little

err firstly dont bump but i am sorry because i actually found out this okay... my new method of painting trucks.

firstly, 1 thin coat of white acrylic paint to work as the base layer. this ensures it will stick to the metal.
let it dry.
we all know hobby paint has the best quality. so i highly recommend Tamiya Scale modeling paint, or warhammer 40k paint. they have the highest quality of shine and some built in laquer thingy.
buy ur paint
spray it and allow it to dry then laquer it. repeat the process 3 times with thin coats of spray paint and laquer. finally, heavilly spray many thin coats of laquer and sand the excess off when it is dry
