Jon is right. I use all of the same paints on racing helmets and ABS bodies. You just need to use a good clearcoat over them to give a little shine and for protection. For a shelfer, I wouldn't recommend a high end urethane clear like PPG 2K (you probably don't have the infrastructure to use it properly). I would suggest a Krylon clear or even having Jon or an autobody painter hitting it with clear when he does something else.
