Try 'Plastikote' available from places like B%26amp;Q (UK) which is ideal for this kind of application. You could also consider using car spray paint.How do i paint plasitc and then clear gloss it ? what paint ?
Make sure the item is clean and free of grease marks. You need to remove the shine from the plastic by either using very fine sandpaper or a liquid sander. Then use a primer specifically for plastics. If you don't do these two steps then the paint will not adhere properly on items that are being handled a lot. Acrylic paint is fine, but don't put it on too thick - do two or three coats rather than one thick one.
use artists acrylic paints, then as you say clear varnish them after, might need a couple of coats of varnish, my husband paints pebbles with local scenes and then varnishes them and people buy them as souveniers and put them in their gardens
i would look into airbrushing..about the only thing i can think of that would lay flat enough that it wouldnt bother you using the device and would stand up to handling
Krylon ';Fusion'; is made for plastic and is available @ Wallyworld.
Try tremclad available at all hardware stores.
go to a model toy shop ,the paints they use for say model aeroplanes would do
