what is the best way to paint pla

Hmmm, I am not sure there is a “best” way

“With Style.”

I would either 1) try automotive primer followed by a good spray or 2) Ive heard good things about but have not tried Krylon spray paint designed for plastics (Fusion?).

I would use acrylic based paint and an airbrush.

I made this thing. For painting parts

Black or white gesso work as a brush on primer.
