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.


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

What kind of paint is typically used for painting scale models of cars?

Testors Acrylic Paint is what most hobby shops sell for painting scale models. It can be difficult to find, especially if you don't have a hobby shop in your area, so you would probably be better off buying it on-line. I usually spray paint my models, because using a brush leaves brush lines; spray paint mimics a factory paint job and gives a more realistic look to the finished model. I usually use a paint formulated for plastic surfaces. Automotive paint is for metal, but I have used on some plastic models and it worked fine.
