    Best to start with plastic primer - then you can use alot of different paints.

    What colour is it now and what colour do you want it to be. When I've painted plastic before I find plastic primer then high quality car paint works well (only flat gloss - metalic is hard to get good unless your pacient - only done it once well and I used about 8 cans of proper colour with so many coats).

    I know alot of people talk about vinal dye but I've never tryed it so cant comment.

    As unreal said prime it frist, then go down a car shop(sells spray paint) and choose and nice colour you like give it a few coats it should look ok, but for the perfect finish, finish it off with some nice primer
