Use the search and you will find plenty of talk on this subject already. Here's one thread: http://www.6x6world.com/forums/argo-...t-my-argo.html

Basically, plan to touch up any paint on polyethylene on a regular basis.

If you have alittle extra cash, you can pick up a can of "self-etching" primer from an auto paint or parts store. That will etch itself into the plastic and your paint will bond to it. Make sure you get a top coat that is compatable with it, and make sure you follow the directions. Usually the primer wants you to apply a top coat of paint before the primer fully dries. Another more "Expedient" way would be to skuff up your paint surface with 220 grit sandpaper and then apply your spray. The rough surface will give the paint something to grab on to. All-in-all, as Mike stated, you'll always be touching up the paint on a regular basis.

I used krylon fushion and had good luck with it.

My experience has been that if you are trying to remove paint it is difficult to remove, and if you are applying paint it is difficult to get it to adhere!
