I've done a few with urethane automotive paint. wet sand the plastic with 400 grit sand paper, do the clean up masking and prep work, then spray a coat of Gorilla adhesion promoter, two coats of color and two to three coats of clear.

Sweet looking colors and love how it is actually painted and not shiny plastic. Are you waxing it the same as you would a car? And do you mean Bulldog Adhesion Promoter not gorilla?
