be careful as spraypaint is a nightmare. the "chrome-effect" spray paint isn't exactly chrome, if u know what i mean. my suggestion is to fork out and buy the real maccoy.!

I have used this on models so it will work on well prepared plastic.
The big question is how will it hold up to the flexing that will occur.

I'm puzzled though. If you're buying stainless why are you asking about working on plastic?
