Yes, it will work on styrene, and it is essentially compatible with enamels and oil washes. However…Rustoleum in a spray can is formulated to produce a very thick coating so that it can be sanded to produce a very smooth final finish when topcoated. It will obscure fine detail. I have a test piece of styrene that I coated with gray Rustoleum primer to test clear coats. I then sanded it to various degrees: 400, 600, 800, 1000, 1500, and 2000 grits. I never sanded through to the plastic, and I removed a lot of paint.

A little strangeness, now and then, is a good thing…
