How can I get craft paint to stick on an acrylic/ plastic container?

Do I need to wipe it with a certain product, seal it or what?How can I get craft paint to stick on an acrylic/ plastic container?
They have some paints at Lowe's hardware, well probably any hardware, that are made specifically to stick to plastic. If you use regular paints it takes forever to dry, and can still be harmful since it would chip off easily. This plastic paint, usually in spray bottle, is made to bond to the plastic. =]How can I get craft paint to stick on an acrylic/ plastic container?
paint will only ';stick'; to a pourus surface...you could try to scratch it...but your prob out of luck there
Scuff up the plastic to create a surface that's not totally smooth, the paint should stick better to a sanded or scuffed surface. Best of luck!
Using a fine grade sand paper, lightly sand the container's surface. Apply acrylic gesso, let dry thoughly...then paint.
There are specific types of glues for different surfaces. Go to your local art store or call they can tell you. I think craft glue will not stick to that container unless you sand it first, but that is still pushing it!
