What kind of paint

You mean like for a craft type thing...or something like plastic lawn furniture?

If it's something you can spray paint..
Krylon has a spray paint made just for plastic...it bonds to it really good.

I'm looking to paint on a plastic surface,
like a milk jug??????

It is soooooo slippery, I used water~based arcylic's
*like for tole painting* but it scratches off...
I'd like something more permentant...

I would try a latex primer first and then any outdoor paint,or the krylon plastic spray is good.

you can use a spray can white and go over several times, but in the end,I think you will be re-touching periodically.

Hope that helps some

is the latex primer put on with a paint brush??

I am also looking to paint with a paint brush the final thing, so, not exactly sure I am looking for a spray on paint...
More of a brush on one...

I called a friend at the hardware store and asked your question, I know your not leaning to krylon spray but that is the best for plastic.

However I asked if you did a primer like i mentioned he said about the same thing i did,re-touching would be.

but he also said since you wanted to paint with a brush you could get a can of krylon and cover your project and then when dry paint by hand what you want, since it will be covered and adhered then.
What are working on, the creative wheels are spinning you have me curious...

Hope that helps a bit
