The process involved ;
- wet sanding the plastic to remove the texture and any remaining mold release.
- one coat of adhesion promoter and flex agent.
- 4 coats of sandable primer
- wet sanding
- 3 coats of base color.
In this case I was using non-metallic, so gave it a light (dry) sand just to take the high points off.
If using metallic paint you would go straight to clear as you don't want to sand the metallic bits in the paint.
- followed with 6 coats of clear.
- followed by lots of wet sanding to remove all the orange peal effect.
- followed by two stages of polishing.

Rattle cans........ and it turned out great. That means there's hope for me yet. I think I just need to move slower and not be rushing to get to the end. My work needs more coats and sanding. I need more of a patience-zen-type approach !!

No I had them done by someone as a favour.

I believe there are rebuild services out there that will do any color you want
