make sure you do it when its warm. When i painted my friends i used acrylic car paint but i have also tried spray paint. If you are using spray paint do a bunch of coats untill its shiny and smooth and wait at least 2 days before you put them in, or else you will scratch them and have to repaint. Do not use the clear coat with spray paint it will just not work out.

Oh yeah i almost forgot. If was you i would get some fine sand paper and go over all of the parts. When i did i think i used 220 then 4 or 500. After sanding i used some stuff called prepall(any kind of degreaser will work) and wiped it all off. If you use prepall or any kind of chemical make sure you let it dry or it will cause your paint to draw up. Do all this and it will look good. You probably dont have to do all this I'm just very thorough with my paint work.

also they suggest that for your plastics to use alchole to clean them before painting them dont really have to sandpaper but you can if you want to
