Default Would like to paint odds and ends

would like to paint the little odds and ends in my PT. I was wondering what is the best way to do it. They're all plastic and I don't want it to peel off. Do I paint it on with a brush or spray paint? Should I use some sort of primer? Most parts are inside but some will be outside (like rain gaurds and the door pillars). Also I have the 03 Turbo and in silver and the driver and pass. side gauge and airbag cover is carbon fiber (I think it is plastic). I would like to paint this as well. Thanks for the help.

I painted lots of small parts using BondAid, then primer, then paint then clear coat. Had a body shop do parts on the outside. I had no problem matching the color but the spray on clear coat doesn't shine like the rest of the car. Looks ok inside though.

dupicolor makes a new product that actually bonds with plastic they make many colors plasticoat makes a similar product. If possible a light scuff with a scothbrite will help paint adhere

Krylon makes a spray called "Fusion" that's for plastic...pick it up at WalMart. Just standard colors.

Heh. Yeah, chrome is a good alternative to painting them odds 'n' ends.
