Polypropylene (or more likely, polyethylene) can be painted by using a
coat
or two of primer (I use Krylon Sandable spray), then _gently_ painting
it
and applying a sealer such as a clear gloss coat.  If you use the "stab
it
with a brush" or "wash and wipe" techniques you will likely take off
paint
and quite possibly primer.  It wouldn't be worth the trouble, except PE
(or
PP) is cheap, which means you may well be able to pick up 50 ships for a
couple of dollars.
