How do you paint white polycarbonate like plastic?

[jamesatwork]

Hi all I got a scale heli fuselage its made from a very thin white flexible plastic like polycarbonate and has a semi matte or satin external finish. Depending on the livery I was thinking either a conventional gloss finish or a super matte military look. I'm used to transparent polycarbonate body shell and painting them from the inside but does lexan paints work well on the outside, or how else should it be painted properly?

thanks

Primer then rubbed down then Automotive paints with thin coats applied if its nitro I would possibly clear seal the finish.
