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.

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.

Can semigloss enamel paint be used on plastic?

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
