Hi Rosi, there are specialty paints for plastic. Rustoleum makes several coors...... Here's some info on paits. I prefer to use spray paints. Clean the chair wel and maskk off any areas you don't want to paint (if any) or mask off if you want to color block certain areas. Then spray in two to three thin coats so you don't have runs or spatters. Follow the directions on the can.

Bring New Life to Your Old Plastic Chairs, With Krylon Spray Paint
Scuff with fine steel wool so the paint will adhere. Wipe down with alcohol. Spray paint with a plastic formula paint like Krylon.
I've seen people have great success with the spray paints made for plastics. Just make sure they are very clean and scuffed up first.
This is a wonderful paint for plastic: https://www.krylon.com/products/fusion-allinone?gclsrc=aw.ds&&utm_source=google&utm_medium=paid-search&utm_campaign=brand&utm_term=consumer&utm_content=nonbrand-evergreen&gclid=CjwKCAjwu5CDBhB9EiwA0w6sLZUQQJQ6fNfviFjYjfX3hFNHVJ2HxleQhvD_ragXiBD-w0ltqqdZ9xoCAwcQAvD_BwE
Please apply many very light coats to avoid runs. On shiny plastic the runs would be very obvious.
You can use a spray paint meant for plastic like a Krylon.
Ask at the paint counter for spray paint made for plastic. I used the Rustoleum 2X on my shutters and they turned out really well.
