I have painted some interior in the past and had poor results. Today I figured out howto do it with the rattle can stuff the right way. First clean the parts you want to paint with simple green and a scrub brush or grey Scotch Brite. You want to get all the Armor All and smoke residue off and rough the surface up a little. Dont sand the plastic dry or it will get fuzzy. Warm water will make cleaning the parts 1000 time easier.

Get a bucket and fill it up with hot water, then throw your spray cans in there. I have a compressor at home to blow the top of the can off, but wiping before spraying works fine. I used two cans so I could alternate once one can started to cool off and hit the parts with a heat gun set on low to get the paint to flash faster. The stuff looks great and no fisheyes! Anyone who has used interior paint before know how easily it fisheyes This is caused by the slower drying solvent in the paint that makes it bond to plastics better. Less is more when doing textured parts, you want just enough to cover without losing the sharpness of the texture, plus the paint will pool in the low areas and look milky. Now you can make ten bucks in paint look like a thousand bucks!

If it's not yellow, it's not as fast! My boss has all yellow race cars.
