I am going to do some handicraft with used plastic bottles as materials. I would like to add colour to the plastic surface by using spray paint. Is this going to possible, or will the colour not stick on the plastic?
If so, what steps can be taken to retain using the plastic material while being able to add colour?
I need an answer quick, please help! Thanks.

Yes there is a spray paint specifically for plastic.
Read the label or ask the guy at the hardware store.
Not all paints will work on plastic so verify on the label first.

Can You Spray Paint Plastic

Go to Lowe's, Menards, etc - there is a particular brand of spray paint made to use on plastic.
If you already have some paint you want to use, you can try it and see if it works on the plastic you have. It will probably stick, but be sure that the plastic is clean - no grease, oils, dirt, etc. It would help if you roughed it up just a bit. Take some fine sandpaper and just scuff the plastic a bit, just enough to get rid of any shine.
Also, if there's any sort of label or paper glued to the plastic, the paint will probably cover it OK, but you'll still see the outline or shape of the label very clearly. Get rid of that first if that will be a problem.

If you use a paint that's designed for modeling, you're OK. Actual automotive paint may be a bit too "hot", and might damage your kit. You usually have three selections for hobby paint, acrylic, enamel, and lacquer. I myself prefer lacquer, but have used enamel in the past. Have no experience using acrylic. For painting large area, you're going to be better off getting an airbrush. It's easier, and it makes your work look a lot better. You can get starter units for a pretty cheap price to play around with and practice before moving up to the big boys.

With all due respect first of all the only answer you needed was "YES"
Also with no offense ANY spray paint will coat plastic. Certainly you might use an epoxy or rustoleum; but it isn't strictly neccesary. The agents in spray paint (Which is NOT strictly latex) will cause it to bond to any surface. The only issues will be with cellular foam.
