get factory automotive paint, no need to prime just sand the pieces and wash them with dish soap. Then spray paint them and go SLOWLY and take your time. Once you are satisfied with the color and amount of paint throw some good clear coat on them. This is the only way to do them as it comes out amazing and well worth it. I'm sure the pros on here will agree as that's where I got the help from.

I used krylon fusion but it doesn't look the same as the factory automotive paint. Plus you can match the interior to your exterior color exactly.

If your not trying to color match the outside then crylon works pretty good. I did my entire interior with it in black with silver accents and it has held up great
