I have something made up of plastic and i would like to paint it (I don't know the type of plastic but it's the kind that plastic vases and other fake glass stuff are made of) but I'm not sure what paint works with it. I've heard about vinyl dye/paint but I've only seen it in large amounts and I want to paint something fairly small. I also want something that wont flake off easily (ex. acrylic paint) and I'm not scuffing up the plastic with sandpaper.Does glass paint work? (This is my main question)
as the item is plastic, i would suggest that you buy paint made for plastic, rather than use your wall paint which may not adhere. krylon fusion for plastic is a possible one and comes in an easy to use spray can. but colors are pretty limited so you may not get an exact match to your light brown wall. how to paint: 1. clean the surface real good with a mild detergent, rinse well and dry. make sure that it is completely dry. 2. spray on a thin coat, covering it evenly. 3. let it dry thoroughly and then apply again. applying multiple thin coats of the krylon paint will prevent runs and drips. Have fun!
