The main problems with painting our plastic pieces are number 1)plastic simply is not a good surface for paint 2)Using a wrong product can ruin a good one. So the most important things are going to be good prep work and the right materials.
To prep I wet sanded all of the plastic pieces. To do this just use very fine sandpaper (above 600grit). And wet the sandpaper. Thenmake sure that all oils from your hands and any armorall are removed from the surface of the plastic! This is extremely important! So definetly wear gloves when handling the plasic. Otherwise, any oil will make the paint have spots without paint. Use denatured alcohol to remove the oils.
After this I used a product called Bulldog Plastic Primer. I sprayed this through a spray gun onto the plastic. For spraypaint I used SEMS Made for Plastic Spraypaint. Make sure you find spraypaint that is made to go on plastic! I sprayed at least 3 coats. Afterward, I sprayed a clear. Make sure that the clear you use is compatible with the paint. If you don't the clear may ruin a perfect paint job. Lastly, actually go to a paint store and ask the professionals what they would do.
