Mouldem plastics in palmerston north do a paint for ldpe. Have seen it used in the rotational molding industry.

It is normally used on freshly cooked parts and always gets best results with virgin plastic. Sounds like that's not what you've got so it would be worth giving it a good heat up with a heat gun or even go down to a local rotational moulder and chuck it in their oven for 10mins at the end of the day when they turn them off. They are always pretty friendly guys.

As a best guess you'd want to aim to get the plastic to at least 70deg as this is when the plastic will start to accept new material. The guys and mouldem will be able to give you a more definite temp you'll want to get it to.
