Its a little envolved but I have never had a problem with peeling or chipping paint on plastic. NOTE: Car bumpers are painted this way. OOP'S, Enamel paint is just fine

Why does the paint dry with a patchy finish?

The finish achieved with paint can be affected by: * Temperature as it is painted and dries - too cold and it may go "chalky" or not dry properly, too hot and the thickness of the paint may be affected, or brush marks may be more obvious. * Surface preparation - a variable surface will give a variable finish. Check for a clean, dry and even surface free of loose material like dust or flakes. * Paint age - Has the paint been on the shelf a long time, or got to hot or cold at some point? * Paint mixing - Was the paint well stirred and mixed without bubbles? * Is it the correct type of paint for the material being painted? * Was the brush or roller clean?
