you'll need 2 pack paint. you'll need it made up by a company that does paint mixing. (this stuff only last 24 hours) so you'll need the compressor gun this to spray it. but 2 pack paint is the proper stuff that doesn't flake off.

cool, is this stuff cheap? probably not! erm will i need to prime the plastic? i would like a semi-textured finish really, so it looks nearly standard but easy to clean/polish rather then gel all the time! what do i need?

you wont necesaraly (sp?) need 2pack paint, cellulose will do the job too, just make sure you use a plastic primer first, you can also get a plasticiser for some paints

do not spray 2pack paints without a properly built booth with extractors, airfed masks etc...

2k paint lasts for ages. It only dries when the activator is mixed into it. If kept in the tin with an air tight seal the activator will last for about 6 months or so befor it goes off...

You neeed to spray 2k paint in a booth with an air fed mask because it contains deadly chemicals.

If you paint with celulose paint it wont peel off so long as you give the surface a good key to stick to (i.e. sand off any wax and clean with panel prep) and use a plastic primer sutable for the type of plastic you are spraying on.... Preperation is key when spraying.
