Sealing paint on a plastic object?

I painted a small area of a plastic object with an all purpose paint and the paint seems to bond fine without a primer, however, the painted objects are stored where they bang against wood and I am constantly finding small spots that I have to touch up. Is there anything that can seal this paint on to take a little more abuse. They seem to fall victim just to light bumps and it is getting kind of annoying.Sealing paint on a plastic object?
oil based paint mate is what you want, no primer required it will stick easily to most plasticSealing paint on a plastic object?
Surfaces to be painted generally need to be ';keyed up';, or sanded lightly, to enable the paint to adhere better. Also, a suitable primer is reccomended, for the paint to bond better. Plastics generally require special primers, depending on the type of plastic and paint being used.
try krylon, it is a Plastic paint,
Knowing the type of plastic, and more importantly; they substance of the paint; will help determine any clear coat to apply.





Obvious in your Q is that it's too late to suggest Primer, and in many ways the primer and paint would still be just as likely to endure abuses.





Beyond those; is the question of WHAT the object is; and it's purpose.

You can try one of the sealers by Krylon spray paints. They will adhere just fine to other paints and will give a protection above and beyond the regular paint that is on currently.





You can choose anything form matte finishes to high gloss. If you want a painted on finish, use a varnish which will dry clear over your paint and will give protection just like it does to things like kitchen cabinets.
