Most commonly available aerosol paints will not adhere well to most commercial plastics. The only exception is styrene, which is commonly used for scale hobby models, but not much in normal consumer products. However, specially formulated aerosol paints are now available that will adhere to plastics.
I need to paint 8 polyethylene banquet tables for a non profit group and the cost of spray paint is very high. Is there a brush on paint for plastic made?
In general, yes. However if the 'plastic' is polystyrene (as in model kits) then test a small unimportant piece first as many spray aerosols will wrinkle it's surface.
Try that new Krylon for Plastics only. Sunnyraye
mostly depends on the type of plastic and its surface if its flexible plastic, then the paint will split and crack when the plastic is flexed you can use a paint flexibilizer additive if you need to if the surface of the plastic is very smooth, the paint will not be able to stick to it. if its appropriate, lightly sand the surface to give it what painters call "tooth" it just roughs up the surface a little bit to the paint wont just slide off it when dry there any many types of plastics and some are very tricky to paint
Might try Krylon Fusion aerosol paint. Specially designed for plastic. Have used on a Cherokee plastic grill.
Poster paint is water-based (and made to be used on paper or card) and does not stick very well on plastic, which is non-absorbent.

The type of plastic that would be used in a plastic fitting is a type of thermoplastic called PVC, or polyvinyl chloride. PVC is commonly used in plastic fittings because it's durable, and can't be corroded.
One of the better crafting paints used to paint plastic jars is acrylic. It's fairly cheap and leaves a nice and polished look that is pleasing to the eye.
