Can cellulose paint - dope - be used on ABS?

Cellulose paint, also known as dope, is generally not recommended for use on ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) plastic. The solvents in cellulose paint can react with the ABS material, potentially causing it to warp or degrade. If you need to paint ABS, it's better to use paints specifically formulated for plastics, like acrylic or enamel paints, which are more compatible. Always test a small area first to ensure compatibility.
