Painting with Acrylic Paint on Plastic

I have a lot of old Melmac dinner plates. I would like to do decorative painting on using acrylic paint. How should I prep the surface? Thanks.

I paint with acrylic paints all the time. I just finished making a bird house with my son out of abs I got from http://www.iplasticsupply.com/ It worked great, but I have noticed that it doesn't work well on other things.
