Just prep it like any other part and paint it the same. That's what we did and it came out slick as glass

Use a scotch bright & sand it down, use a plastic adhesion promoter, prime or use a primer for plastic & paint.

I just scuffed mine with a scotch brite pad and then shot some epoxy primer on it let it set a while then shot the 3 stage paint. I didn't use any adhesion promoter ? Didn't need it.
