if you go to a auto finishers (car paint supplier) ie morellis, unipart formally brown brothers etc they will have what you need i think its called plasticoat you need this as it sticks to plastic if you just primer it it will peel off, then primer on top then flat it then i recomend any 2k paint as it dries hard via chemical reaction within a few hours you must clean out the spray gun other wise in 24 hours you will have a solid block of plastic looking stuff in the bottom of your spray gun and the gun will be knackered but it leaves a very nice shine to it ( it depends on your SPRAYING ABILITY)
