Should I Paint It?

About 10 years ago I retrobrited the base of my Avante. It was yellowing badly and the process made it look nearly back to normal. However, it didn't last more than a year and over the past several years that followed, it went back to what it was before the process.

What I want to do is look into painting it, but I want to do it right. I know the paint used on the set was Imperial White lacquer, so I'm looking at that color. What is the best way to prep and paint it so it is resistant to scuffs, scratches and chipping?

I've attached before and after pics of the retrobrite process. I just wish it had lasted.
