Default painting plastic?

has anyone had any success with painting any of the plastic accent pieces in the cab on our trucks? If so, what type of paint did you use? I was thinking of getting some paint that would match the exterior green and painting things like the vents, air conditioning *****, door handles and locks, etc. to kind of bring the exterior inside the cab.

i know people that have used Bulldog Adhesive Paint Prep spray for a base and then painted over with the color they wanted.... hope thing helps
The Bulldog Adhesive Paint makes the paint really grip

My dad painted my dash bezel. No adhesion promotor, just scotch-brite, lots of alcohol wiping to remove any armor-all, sprayed with Epoxy Primer, the Viper Red, then a bit of Ford Laser Red in the clear. Came out great. Pics in my album on my profile if you wanna see.
