Yes, I've done lots of this.
You can use Vinyl dye after you have done the proper preparation to them.
Make sure you buy the * Preval* spray system.
This will be on the shelf at any good parts house or Paint supply house.
Check in the appearance forum or ask me for more info privately.

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 08-Nov-02 AT 02:07 PM (EST)] all you have to do is clean as good as you can!!
i've used SOS pads in the past. then you can use any kind
of paint, any color you want. just wait for some good weather.
they'll come out great.

It depends on what end result you want.
IMHO > NO!

If it's a beater then who cares if the paint flakes or scratches. Otherwise find some good paint for plastic and prep it well.
I just did mine with soap and water and rustoleum primer and bright red. Don't know how they will hold up, but I didn't have the facilities or time to do a pro-job of it.

If you want to paint plastic there is a very good paint to use that comes in a wild variety of colors. Use lexan plastic body paint that is used on Radio Controlled cars and trucks. It holds tight to plastic when the surface is prepped well (the guys in the hobby shop can tell you how) and it is very flexible.
