March 12, 201213 yr If you use a good plastic etching primer (most plastic primers will light etch) you can coat with a variety of paints. A plastic primer and a plastic paint like krylon work well for most applications. Top coat with a compatible product if the item is high wear.I clean well with a wax and grease remover. I sand the piece lightly if possible, I don't if it's textured. I use an adhesion promoter followed by a primer. I usually use several coats of paint and top coat. If the part will be flexed, I will use a flex additive. I spray with an HVLP (high pressure works just as well) so most automotive paints, base coat/clear coat with a flex additive, work well if you have the equipment.

They are tan and my interior is gray. I figured at that price I could paint em.
