You should buy paint specifically formulated to spray onto plastic. Your local automotive paint specialty shop can recommend a good formula, and they should be able to match the paint of your set by scanning it into their computer.

They generally go by "body shop supply" store or something like that.

You definitely want to go on youtube first and watch a bunch of videos on painting plastic parts first. Don't go by just one of them. Watch a bunch and get the general idea of what would be best for your part.

My biggest fear is I'll get it wrong and it'll be painted, but not look good. I'm aiming to make it look like it came that way, but I'll only get one shot at it.
