What beats an Electroliner

this sounds like it would be good for railings.

It might be. The paint is not cheap so keep that in mind.

Hmm . . .  For flexible railings it is not the good coverage or opacity that is important - it is flexibility of cured paint and adhesion to slippery plastic.  One Shot is just an enamel paint that is very opaque.  I bought small tins of black and white One Shot Paint, but I haven't tried using it on anything yet.  That paint is expensive and hard to find.  It took me a while to find a place that sells it.  IIRC, I found a sign shop that ordered it for me (because I wanted the smallest tin available).

Actually, when you consider that the One Shot is in a 4 oz can, if you compare it to the cost of many model paints that come in 1/2 to 1 ounce bottles, it ain't bad.  You would just need to buy it in colors you use a lot (4 oz paints a lot of N scale).

I don't remember it being particularly flexible, but on the other hand, it stuck to just about everything I ever painted it on.

i was thinking that flexibility part of paint. is this the paint they put on plastic signs. like yard sales, for sale signs etc. ??

No, One Shot is paint for professional sign painters to apply with brushes for permanent signs, like business signs. Plastic yard signs just have cheap silkscreen ink.
