enamels and soft plastic don't mix. Acrylics do pretty well there. There may be a way to make enamels work, but I'm not sure.

I've had good luck painting a primer coat (two is better) of acrylic paint, then the enamel final coat.

Another trick is to drybrush several layers with plenty of drying time (12 hours) between coats.
