Flat black paint on FDE frame??

Why?

Regular spray paint will not stick. You will need one that's formulated for plastic. Check the label. There are quite a few available now.

Next your going to have to clean all oils  and grease from the surface. Easier said than done.

Why?  Got a deal on the FDE G17 but prefer basic black.

Thinking of trying Rust-Oleum 2X Ultra Cover, supposed to stick to plastic., and yes I know the frame will have to be CLEAN.

We sprayed some plastic kid house my wife got and wanted to change the color of. Ran the plastic specific Rust-Oleum and after prepping the surface and painting, it still rubs off.

 

I think as long as you don't mind a worn black/fde look or repaint it a lot, I wouldn't bother trying to paint it.

FWIW, I have used Duracoat on many plastic pistols and rifles. It is definitely not spray paint and has to be mixed and applied properly to a very clean surface. These are all holding up very well vs using krylon. 
 

if your not using the right stuff, don’t be upset when it starts peeling off
