If it soft plastics, acrylics work best as they won'gt react to the plastic. If I have to paint soft plastic, I use an acrylic as a base coat and then use whatever color enamel fits the project. Enamels work fine for all other types of plastic. If you paint something with an acrylic, it will not hold up. That's why I suggest using it as a base coat.
