Painting Plastic

Is there any special paint or procedure to use on plastic? I am using Createx Opaque to paint wood models but have a plastic model to paint would just sanding lightly be all I would have to do or is there some special paint I have to use?

you mean createx colors. T shirt paint .. ?? If so, should scuff but it still won't stick well. Auto Air Colors is better.

I asked this one a few days ago - great minds eh? Some links in this forum:

primer & paint for plastic

these may help.

In my (VERY limited) experience once the plastic is primed then any paint works, although I assume the old guideline of try not to mix acrylics and enamels is probably still a good idea.

Thanks for your replies Guys, and thanks Voyager for the link, it seems Paul is correct and Auto Colors is the way to go.
