you may be able to get the paint to stick better by "washing" the plastic
part in acetone first... I've done this in the past when painting molded
plastic parts, and it did the trick. Jjust a quick dip, though...(acetone
dissolves plastic) and paint right after the acetone has dried off... I
take no repsonsibility for you melting your airhat.. test it first...
