Will Testers model car paint work for painting on ABS? If not what should I use to make a good finish?
Thanks.

ABS is a regular type of plastic. Any of the various paint for models will adhere to it. You could always lay down a coat of primer before you start painting.
I suggest that you contact Geoff who is a member of this forum and is a whiz at painting 3D printed objects.

Abs is very easy to paint. Any solvent based paint will bind to it like crazy. Waterbase stuff like latex is nowhere near as good for durability.
