Will acrylic paint stick to plastic? If not, why?
You can use acrylic paint on plastic. Start by preping it with some spray primer. Ideally two coats. Work in a well ventilated room. Paint in thin layer. Might need 2-3 layers to build the colour. Once dry varnish with a spray varnish.

Does acrylic paint wash off?
It depends on the surface used.....if it is used on canvas or cloth then it won't wash off but if it is used on a smooth surface like plastic, mirror, etc then it can be removed easily.
