Is it the tin you have or the spray aerosol? If it's the tin then I wouldn't recommend it, it's nowhere near smooth enough to give a good finish. It looks good on calipers because they are rough to begin with so it smooths them out a bit. On perfectly smooth plastic though it would look poor. Especially as you use a paintbrush to apply it. Which plastics were you thinking?
