I am about to print some models with PETg, which requires painting the parts with different colors. I am wondering what would be the best type of paint that should be used on PETg? Would enamel paint work? Thanks!

sand the model or red scotchbrite it. assuming you only have off the shelf type paints available, find some good high build automotive rattle can primer. do a few coats of that, sand smooth with 400 grit sandpaper then paint with whatever you want.
