Plastic Paint Medium is a painting technique for plastic artists, which consist in the use of Epoxy Resin (any of a class of resins derived by polymerization from epoxies: used essentially in adhesives, coatings, and castings), mixed with pigments such as dry pigment, oil painting or acrylic paintings, etc, obtaining as a result a very hard, shining and very durable finish, similar to Plexiglas (a thermoplastic polymer of methyl methacrylic that is light in weight). Plastic Paint Medium is very resistant to the corrosive effects of weathering and an excellent blocker against the devastating UV's rays.

How do you prepare plastic to be painted with acrylic paint?

Depending upon the type of plastic, acrylic paint can be applied directly to the surface. Some plastics will repel acrylic paint, some are very smooth and the acrylic paint will easily scratch off and some have a slight tooth and provide the best surface for paint adhesion. The plastic must be chemically inert so that it will not react with the paint film over time. If the plastic repels acrylics, the surface can be prepared by sanding and roughing the surface to provide "tooth". Try using a very fine sand paper, such as #500 "wet sanding" black sandpaper to roughen the plastic's surface. After sanding, remove dust and coat with a layer of Matte Medium or Matte Gel Medium (let dry) and then one or two coats of acrylic gesso.
