the way to do it is to clean it with plastic parts cleaner, NOT simple green !!!....
Spray a coat of an adhesion promoter and then paint of your choice... I used body shop paint with flex additive...
Others have just used spray cans and it looks dam good...

Krylon now has a paint for plastics, it's called "fusion". It says no sanding or priming. I would be interested to see if it works well on a car, it would make the cladding job MUCH easier.
