Hi Caroline, just scrub it well and then paint with a paint made especially for plastic offered by several brands, such as Rustoleum, Krylon, and NuKote. These paints last well, even in outside weather on plastic chairs, etc.
Hi Caroline besides prep I would say the type of paint you buy is absolutely the most important thing. Make sure and buy outdoor paint that is specific for plastic. https://www.wikihow.com/Paint-Plastic-Furniture

Use plastic formulated spray paint. It will say that on the can. Clean furniture before painting.

Refresh Outside Plastic Furniture
Buy spray paint that is for multi-surfaces. Be sure to clean the furniture well before painting.
Scuff with fine steel wool, clean with denatured alcohol or TSP, then prime and paint with a spray paint that is formulated for plastic. I used Krylon.
Always sand first so spray paint can adhere to it. You will want to go to Home Depot or Lowes and pick up some spray paint especially made for plastic.
I do it all the time with Rustoleum or Krylon spray paint.

Spray paint works best for this.
You can use a spray paint for plastic that works outdoors as well. You can also paint some plastic furniture with a chalk paint depending on the texture of the furniture.
