Not paint for lexan... obviously!
Tamiya's TS sprays are suitable and you should find the exact colour match for box art. Or, quite a few people use sprays/primers etc. for full size cars but you would have to check that they are safe on plastic.

As Sosidge has suggested Tamiya TS paints if you can find them, you can use normal 1:1 car paints,like from Halfords or local 1:1 car spares shop.

Halford paint, drys fast, car paint so rock hard once dry, large choice, and acrilic so great for plastic, very easy to use 2:thumbsup:. and if you realy want to go to town you can use all the full size cutting and polishing compounds:eh?:
