I painted my M4a1 flat black using Krylon Camo paint. Its resistance to wear and tear is moderate.

I filled my engravings with crayon while the paint is still alittle wet I used a thing sharp device to carve it out. If the paint is dried, taking out the crayon will result in the peeling of whole chunks of paint.

If you want a stronger cheaper kind of paint I suggest you use enamel. They come in the same colour as krylon flat black. They are much more resilient to scratches, peels and overall will last longer than krylon.

If you want a strong finish try coating the item with primer (there are differents types for metal and plastic) prior to the coat of paint. The primer will act as an adhesive allowing the paint to attach on to the item being painted.

I spent a ton of time painting my ICS m4. Researched alot and asked around. If you need any more help just PM.
