So as at thrift store, I got one of those western belts with the gun holster. The Holsters come off, so I can put it on my own belt, but the only thing is it's brown and my belt is black. I've tried this paint i have, which is a craft paint that is muilt. use but it dose not cover well, I have also tried color over in permit. marker then painting over that. but the hoster have a design in it and getting the marker in all the spots might be hard.

is there a paint that works with plastic?

Hi, Sailor Swifty! Yes, there are paints that work on plastic, but the paint you will want to buy will depend on the type of plastic surface that you are trying to cover. Is the plastic you are referring to pleather (/vinyl)? Also would you be able to take a picture of the belt/holster so that I get an idea of the surface you need to cover? Thanks!

I have no idea what it is made of, it looks like it was on of those cheap kid toy ones. and it had no tag on it.

It looks like it's probably some sort of vinyl, but here are a few more questions just to be sure.

1. The part on the right side on your image folds over to attach the holster to the belt, right? Is the material kinda flexible?

2. And are the stitches along the edges actual stitches or are they just indents?

If yes, then I would recommend Angelus Brand Acrylic Leather Paint and a bottle of Angelus Acrylic Finisher to apply over the coat of paint once it has dried. Although Angelus paint is marketed for leather, it adheres very well to vinyl and pleather (faux leather). It comes in many different colors and has very good coverage.

To achieve the best results with this brand of paint, I suggest the following:
1. Wiping down the holster with a little rubbing alcohol to remove any dust before you paint. (If there is different paint on the holster, use some acetone to remove it.)
2. Painting with a foam brush to minimize the appearance of streaks.
3. **It may also be a good idea to test out the paint on a piece that you are not planning on using for your cosplay, just to make sure it will adhere correctly. I don't think you have to worry about this, but sometimes if the surface you are trying to paint has a silicone finish to it, the paint won't stick right. Angelus makes a product to remove silicone finishes as well.

I tried the color over with perm. marker first and then took this muilt. surface paint. this is how it turned out. i might still look into the plastic paint, i sometimes get coupons from joanna fabrics and michelle's that might be a good time to get the paint and use it on the other one
