Do a search for "plastic paint" and you will find several manufacturers of products that should allow you to recolor your sunglass frames. One of the more popular brand is Krylon Fusion, but many paint manufacturer have their own variation. There is not a huge choice of colors, but all the primaries and a few shades are covered so you should be able to find a color that suits your needs.
FYI, "plastic paint" is not quite like traditional painting. It is actually more accurately called "plastic dye" because you are actually deposition pigment into the surface of the plastic. Think of it as a special form of colored paint mixed in with a solvent that slightly melts the surface of the plastic, allowing the special paint pigment to molecularly bond with the surface. This is why "plastic paint" does not chip like traditional paint.

∙ 13y agoyes, but it has to be thick paint.other wise it wont stay on. I would suggest a primer specifically formulated for plastic otherwise it will peel right off. Prime then paint with a paint made for plastic otherwise you will be repainting it anyhow (been there done that.)
Krylon brand has a can of spray paint called Fusion. It is designed for painting plastic. Spraying thick paint will only eventually peel. No primer needed.

What paint can you use on a plastic sign?
If you are painting lettering directly to the plastic, there are single part epoxies that are available, some suitable for outdoor use, that would adhere to plastic without having to use a primer. 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.

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
