What kind of paint is used to paint plastic? How do you paint plastic?
Other respondents have answered your question well.In simple language plastics are ‘slippery’ and paint doesn't adhere well. This is particularly true with PET and Polyethylene types.Rustoleum, as mentioned by others, is good. Here in Australia you may also try PPG (White Knight) Squirts, British Paints Paint & Prime. But arguably the best would be Dulux DuraMax. Each of these spray paints are listed as suitable for ‘plastic’. If in doubt DuraMax also have specific Plastic Primer.In bulk, as opposed to spray cans, paint there are a number of ‘High Adhesion Primers that generally give good results. These include Zinsser 123, PPG (White Knight) Grip Lock and Dulux High Adhesion Primer.As with all painting Follow the instructions on the container to the letter if in doubt call the Help Phone number on the label.

Can you spray paint on rubber?
You can, but it may be susceptible to chipping, peeling or cracking unless done right. The rubber has to be cleaned first, and the best paint for permanent use would be to use a marine paint, paint meant for boats - it would be the most durable and the most resistant to any chipping or peeling - since marine paint is designed object in water and subject to the elements, it's going to be your best bet.Other options:There are spray paints, Rust-Oleum FlexiDip spray paint that is a removable rubber coating.You can also use acrylic craft paints if the object will remain indoors - make sure to do at least two coatings of paint.And for outdoors, you can use any outdoor paint but you should prime the rubber first so that the paint will adhere.

What kind of paint would adhere to a 2DS?
The adhesion of a coating or several coated sample of any paint product is measured by assessing the minimum tensile stress needed to detach or rupture the coating perpendicular to the substrate. Unlike the other methods, this method maximizes the tensile stress, therefore results may not be comparable to the others. The test is done by securing loading fixtures (dollies) perpendicular to the surface of a coating with an adhesive. Then the testing apparatus is attached to the loading fixture and is then aligned to apply tension perpendicular to the test surface. The force that is applied gradually increases and is monitored until a plug of coating is detached, or a previously specified value is reached
What is the best paint to use on plastic?
paint will not stick to plastic usually without roughing it up with a fine sandpaper or steelwool then primer is needed followed by a paint suitable for the job - if item is outside use exterior paint, if it is furniture use a high gloss always use a quality paint and a sprayer or roller as brushes will leave fine lines in surface .
Will acrylic paint stick to plastic? If not, why?
Depends on which plastic, some works well, others vigorously reject the paint. Some responders say that acrylics itself is a plastic, and that plastic doesn’t adhere to plastic. Luckily, they are wrong; acrylic binds well to acrylic, otherwise painting would be a hassle. Acrylic paint sits well on a number of plastic substrates, given reasonable treatment of the material, be it roughing up surfaces for better bite, using a primer or something like that. I often use acrylic glass (after sanding) and various mylar films as substrate, both works well. Tried polycarbonate, but I didn´t like the way it handled itself while sanding. Paint adhered just fine, though.Whith the abundance of different plastic materials out there, I suggest testing the material you are contemplating. If it feels OK and the paint samples sticks and doesn´t come off even when applying violence, then go for it.
What paints can become stuck on plastic?
Just about any paint will stick to plastics of different kinds. You need to know what kind of plastic first. Then you need to know if the surface will remain flat or will it bend after it is painted? Will it be outside in Heat and cold? Wind and rain or snow? Will it see abuse like a toy or will it sit unbothered like a flower pot? Does it need to look good for a day or 5 years?Answer these questions, then a recommendation can be made.No matter what paint you choose for a top coat, you must prepare the surface for paint. It should be sanded to remove the shine. This will allow the primer to stick to that rough surface. Then you pick the type of primer that will be chosen to the earlier questions. Then you can basically put any top coat you want depending on if it needs to bend and be flexible, be exposed to weather or rough use.See…. simple.
Is it possible to apply a skin or decal in a textured laptop?
I ordered a small decal to test on my own textured Dell laptop; it arrived today and I applied it, so I can’t yet speak about longterm durability, but it seems to be sticking well so far!It was a small hassle to apply; however, I’ve never put a decal on any other surface so I don’t know if this was normal or not. The main problem was that the actual decal wanted to stick the transfer sheet, so I had to peel it away from the transfer sheet and hold it to the laptop while I finished peeling the transfer sheet off.Here is a picture of the decal:As you can see, there are small, detached parts that added some extra hassle, but that will vary by decal and it wasn’t too much trouble.The texture of the laptop doesn’t show through the decal.Overall I’m very happy with it! I’ll just have to wait and see about how long it stays on, I’ve got high hopes, I had to readjust a couple parts and they were kind of difficult to peel away.EDIT: Its been almost three months now and it's still on! I have four decals on my laptop now, and they're all sticking quite well; the only exception is this sticker: I think because of the smaller pieces, and the fact that I had to adjust them slightly, is what caused it to stick not quite as well as the others - and even then, it's just the very tips of the sticker that are starting to peel.
