i used this vinyl stuff at autozone, but you should put a primer or somethin on first...its a spray, so you would want to take the piece out and hang it up or sumpthing. I used the vinyl stuff and it chips real easy

the best for plastic pieces is called Krylon Fusion... you can find it at any hardware store, or Walmart or Lowe's
I also used a top-coat of rustoleum metallic silver, and clearcoated over that, too. you only really need Krylon Fusion, I just wanted a different color... but I would suggest putting a clearcoat or two on it.

In my last car the paint I used was duplicolor vehicle paint for plastic pieces, and vinyl/fabric dye spray for the vinyl stuff... never chipped.

It was made by duplicolor... found at autozone it was "interior vinyl and fabric paint" $4.99 a can but I only needed 3 cans to do the door panels GOOD. Thanks for the compliment... I didn't get that crazy in this car yet... but autozone SHOULD have it... the walmart dye does not hold up for crap, so dont get that.

I used the Dupli-color Mirage paints. It's a three part system that changes colors. Everything that was painted was removed and scrubbed with a green scotch brite pad and dish soap. I didn't use any primer, the system comes with a base coat. It's held up now for a year. Pictures on my cardomain site.

So it seems that I should use duplicolor over Krylon fusion then?

It doesn't matter that much, use whatever you want... whichever one has a color you like.
But personally, I am very happy with the Krylon that I used. It worked awesome.
