What type of paint do I need to paint smooth plastic?

Question

Thanks

Answer 1

Actually, artists acrylic paints do not stick to smooth plastic very well. It will wash off or scrape off easily. And if you thin the paint at all it will not begin to cover. I recommend enamel paint, like the stuff that is used to paint model cars and planes and the such. They are made to use on plastics, glass, metal, and other non-porous surfaces. You can buy a gazillion different colours at your local hobby store, and limited colours in the hardware department.

Answer 2

Either student or artist's quality acrylic paint. Something like Liquitex, Or Windsor&Newton Galleria brand.

Answer 3

there is spray paint at shops jointly with Lowe's surprisingly made for plastic - I used it on plastic flower pots and it worked. there is craft paint for plastic in shops jointly with Michael's besides.

Answer 4

Craft paint like you could find at the store should work fine.
