Keep in mind, plastic does not like ot hold paint, even if it'* paint made for plastic. Plastic needs to be treated a certan way to hold paint. And most plastic is not made that way. Injected plastic is almost never treated this way. It will scratch VERY easy. You can make it llok really nice, but you will have to take an lot of extra care when cleaning and handling it.
