I don't know how envolved you want to get but, your problem is the plastic will flex and the paint will chip and peel, you need two (2) things, a bonding agent (to make the paint stick to the plastic) and a flex agent (to make the paint stretch). you can get these at a automotive paint store. Its a little envolved but I have never had a problem with peeling or chipping paint on plastic. NOTE: Car bumpers are painted this way. OOP'S, Enamel paint is just fine

∙ 16y agoIt depends on what kind of plastic the shelf is made of. There are spray paints made specifically for painting plastic that might work. Check your local hardware or hobby store and read the cans. It should say on the back of the can what the paint will stick to. Some plastics (polyurethane, for example) just can't be painted very well. The paint will stick at first, but will peel off easily.
It will help if you first sand the surfaces you're going to paint with some fine grit sandpaper. Also, regular latex paint will almost certainly not work, so don't waste your time with that.

AnswerIt would depend on what type of material the shelves are made of. I assume wood. The best thing would be to use a water-based paint as opposed to an oil based. If you like the looks of a natural wood grain you can also use a stain to color the shelves as well. A varnish of some sort should be applied after to ensure the paint's durability through weather, wear, etc.Add your answer:
