This is a tutorial on how to spray paint plastic. Rust-Oleum makes a great product that will allow you to paint plastic without any primer. The key to a good paint job is to make sure that you clean the surface of the plastic before you start painting. You can use a mild soap and water solution to clean the plastic. Once the plastic is clean, you will need to sand the surface to rough it up a bit. This will help the paint to adhere to the plastic. After you have sanded the plastic, you will need to wipe it down with a clean cloth to remove any dust. Once the plastic is clean and dry, you can start painting. Apply a thin layer of paint to the plastic and allow it to dry. Apply additional coats of paint until you are satisfied with the coverage. Once the paint is dry, you can apply a clear coat to protect the paint job.

If you’re using an oil-based paint, you’ll definitely need to prime the surface first.
