If you are going to paint the background a solid color, you can use a special primer, formulated to adhere to plastic, then paint it with an acrylic paint which can then be coated with the same type of acrylic paint for any lettering and design.

So, unless there is a smell of paint, or we have seen the painter at work, we have no real reason to believe the sign.

You may want to contact the manufacturer of the moldings to find out what they recommend. They're usually good about that. Scuff lightly with a high grit sand paper (800-1200 grit) clean with warm soapy water, plastic is petroluem based so a good dish soap will wash away the oils inherent on the molding. A good latex exterior grade paint will work fine. paint using your technique an let dry per specifications of paint you chose

You can then add your desired text or design using stencils, paint, or wood burning tools. Finally, attach a hanging mechanism or stakes to display your sign outdoors.
