Rust-Oleum
®
Paint for Plastic renews and revitalizes indoor and
outdoor plastics. No primer is required. These sprays are ideal
for use on automotive plastics, polypropylene, polystyrene resin,
PVC, and fiberglass. Test this product in an inconspicuous area
to test for compatibility on the surface. Rust-Oleum Paint for
Plastic features an advanced spray system that allows you to
spray at any angle, even upside down for those hard to reach
areas. A comfort spray tip with a wider finger pad reduces fatigue
caused by continuous spraying.
