That's all well and good, but will the yellow cover a rifle stock with only one
coat?

It all depends on how well you prepare the surface.

Steve, Krylon, Rustoleum, and American Tradition (by Valspar) make
plastic paint. They also make a plastic primer paint. With the plastic
primed, you can use any spray paint, any color, any brand, over it.
The regular spray paint has a larger variety of colors.

Seems to work well enough. I have some about two years now and still looks
decent.

I painted two old green plastic adirondack chairs with the Rustoleum
version of plastic paint two years ago. The are still green with no
flaking anywhere even though they are left outside all year long . The
only preparation was to clean them first with patio furniture cleaner.

Yup, cleaned and degreased is a good start.

Have painted several pieces of plastic furniture, one good year is
very likely. Stuff works well, as in any painting though it is all
about the prep work.

Well, my mind is made up. Personally, I thought the answers would be about
50/50 but it seems most everyone who has used it is happy.
