This is a link to Krylon's page showing their line of spray paints for plastics. Check your local hardware store and they should have a selection. As for adhesive, I'd go with Gorilla Glue, super glue, or possibly epoxy. Depending on how smooth the plastic is, epoxy may not work. If you can buff the surface a bit before attaching something, it might work.What kind of spray paint and glue can stick to plastic?
It would depend on what colour you want but I would recommend Citadel paints. They come in spray and pots and are mainly used on plastic and metal models. Also Citadel plastic glue works very well and not just on the models. I have used it on other things and it works brilliantly. Hope this helps you :)


The Citadel range can be found in www.games-workshop.com
For paint... just about any spray will work if you prepare the surface... make the surface rough... with sandpaper or a solvent.





There are glues made specifically for plastic... and a better bond also depends on how you prepare the surface, but a good plastic glue will melt the surface just a bit as is cures and will solve that problem.
