ya supposedly, a ton of people on here use it for their tank decor. I've never used it as I HATE fake decor but as long as you let it dry completely I imagine it is fine.

I've spray painted many intakes/outtakes with krylon and never had a problem. Like mentioned just allow ample drying time.

rust-oleum makes a paint that bonds to plastic too, I forget the name but I used that on the pvc pipes of my undergravel filter. lots of water movement there with no problems.

X2 love that krylon for plastics.

prep work is always good for forming a good long holding bond. I usually prep my stuff with a wipe down of mineral spirits and let dry 10 mins before spraying.
