Painting soft plastic

[ezdays]

There's a Shewin-Williams store about a mile from my house. I've not heard of, or had a need for this product, but I'm sure I can expect to pay dearly for it there. On that same note, I have bought paint in a spray can that is formulated for plastic. I'm not sure, but there might even be a primer but I'm not sure if it will work with what I'm using. I'm heading to Home Depot today to check the label on what I have and if they have any kind of paint there that I can use as an undercoat. If it is Plas-Tex, I cannot find anywhere where they talk about painting it, I guess they assume you want bright white (or beige).

One other thought that I've had is to wash it with something that will take the slickness off the surface without melting it. Maybe Acetone, got to put on a white lab jacket, eye protectors and rubber gloves just like Dr. Nefario in "Despicable Me" and do some experimenting. Where are those Minions when you need them?

Thanks for you input guys, it's helped point me in the right direction.
