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.

Will Acrylic Paint Stick to Plastic? No, not unless the plastic has been prepared by sanding it first, then spraying on a primer. Because plastic is smooth and non-porous, and acrylic paint has a similar consistency when dry, the paint cannot adhere to the plastic

Is acrylic paint waterproof? If so, why?
Acrylic paint is an oil-based product, so it doesn't contain any waterproofing agents. Therefore, if it has not been sealed, it will lose its color when exposed to water. If you want to protect your acrylic painting, you need to seal it.
