Best paint to use on interior trim?

I have multiple extra interior plastic trim pieces, and they are pretty much all tan, and i'm making my Z black on the interior, blue on the exterior.

As far as fast and easy, whats the best paint that wont chip when you look at it?

get the duplicolor vinyl/fabric spray paint. I remember reading a thread about it on HybridZ were the one guy was using that on the plastic pieces. I tried it and it comes out actually really darn close to factory. I use the flat black for plastics the gloss black for the vinyl pieces. I haven't really put it to use, but some of the pieces I did have sat in the garage and have been tossed around and still look good. Before I painted them, I cleaned them off real good then wiped them down with Mineral Spirits.

I used Krylon Fusion on my trim, even on the exterior side molding and bumpers. It doesn't require any sanding, and thus far (six years later), it has not chipped, flaked, or peeled.

yeah have to be over 18 in some states to buy spray paint because of kids "huffing" it and dieing.

Though that paint does not require any sanding, be sure to clean the areas you are spraying. I used Dawn dish detergent mixed with warm water, dried the areas, then went over them with rubbing alcohol. That helps remove ArmorAll and other protectants, allowing the paint to stick to the surface better and prevent bubbles.
