Your Plastic Painting Procedure?
I'm replacing an Impact Strip. Since its not a huge piece I thought I could get away with rattle cans. Anyone have experience with it? And any particular brand of primer to go with?

let dry between coats
a few coats of primer, a few coats of paint and finally a few coats of clearcoat.

The key is to be patient and not overspray. Drips will ruin the project. Do thinner layers than you think you should and just do lots of them.
