i used Krylon. if u want some good quality it takes soem time. First u gotta do some good sanding. Then clean it with some sort of alcohol or degreaser. then prime it. lots of thin coats of paint, and last but not least a couple coats of clear coat

I did mine with car paint... in a spray paint can. Bought it at canadian tire. Didn't cost much at all. I used barry's method, it worked extremely well.

After sanding a little, I used some adhesive promoter, then some paint specially for vinyl and plastic parts. Well see if it lasts.
