Real Jeepers use Krylon.

Scuff the plastic with a brillo pad and the paint will stick betta.

That's what I used on my links and they took quite a bit of dragging on the rocks before it came off. Good stuff.

I used rustoleum white primer. That stuff sticks to anything...

I don't want it to look good, cuz if it looks good, then I'll care when it gets f***ed up!

Another vote for the Krylon Fusion. Even if you don't rough up the exterior, it'll still stick with ease. It's still recommended you rough it up though for a top notch bond. Too bad i wanted my 1:6 black, and micheals only had fusion in metalic colors. So i did a base coat of silver fusion and taped off some areas and did a top coat of regular krylon flat black. In some places where it was too heavy of a coat at first, its kind of webbing up, but not noticable from a foot or 2
