If you are painting lettering directly to the plastic, there are single part epoxies that are available, some suitable for outdoor use, that would adhere to plastic without having to use a primer.

Can semigloss enamel paint be used on plastic?

mostly depends on the type of plastic and its surface if its flexible plastic, then the paint will split and crack when the plastic is flexed you can use a paint flexibilizer additive if you need to if the surface of the plastic is very smooth, the paint will not be able to stick to it. if its appropriate, lightly sand the surface to give it what painters call "tooth" it just roughs up the surface a little bit to the paint wont just slide off it when dry there any many types of plastics and some are very tricky to paint
