Go to your auto part store and buy an adhesion promoter like Bulldog it will help the paint stick. Also make sure the surface of the chairs are clean. Try gently scrubbing them with a scuff pad then apply the adhesion promoter in light coats allowing 15 minutes to dry beteween applications follow with paint in the same manner.

∙ 15y agoMy best advice is to remove the plastic. However, if the plastic is securely fixed to a wall you wish to paint, you may find a decent result by first sanding the plastic. The point is made that the surface must be roughed up a bit to better ensure paint adhesion.
If you are satisfied you can sufficiently rough up all of the plastic you plan to paint over then use a primer coat of latex paint over which you will apply additional coats of latex finishing paint. DO NOT attempt to use an oil base paint as the adhesion will be poor and the oil within the paint will damage the plastic resulting in peeling.

∙ 11y agoThe traditional way to paint plastic is with any type of paint used by model makers. Enamel paints like Humbrol were mostly replaced by water based acrylic paints. Do not use cellulose paint as it will melt the plastic.
The down side is that you need to rub it down to provide a key, and spray with undercoat and top coat to get a decent finish.
The alternative is to use spray cans of Vinyl Dye available from car spares stores. This is sprayed directly onto the plastic and chemically bonds with it to lock in the colour. Can be used on anything from hard plastic to vinyl seats.
Check web for examples of people painting white HI FI and computer cases black, with good results.
