ABS plastic

As long as you use the right liquid solvent and properly prime before painting you shouldn't have any major issues.

What hawkeye said. Here at work we use a rubber compound to put ABS components together. Its horribly messy but it swells in contact with water which helps seal the pipes. And in terms of painting, we just use regular house paint lol. Thats not really any use to you. but i thought id mention it.

TEEKAY

Do I need a certain adhesive or will super glue and liquid cement work? 

Most regular cements for styrene models won't work with ABS. You may wish to see if your LHS carries Plastruct Plastic Weld cement, as this is formulated to work with ABS (some of Plastruct's products are ABS).

Get thee to the hardware store, and ask for ABS glue(common used in plumbing).

ABS has a smoother surface than IP so many paints won't stick well, get a self-etching automotive primer and you are golden.

Have fun.

Thanks for the info.  I will give it a try.  Do you know if the ABS cement is compatiable with styrene?

ABS glue won't work on styrene. Sorry.
