Has anyone painted their (plastic) interior trim?

I'm in the process of swopping parts from my old Sandstone car interior to its replacement car with blue interior. I'm thinking it might be easier to paint some parts rather than swop them. Has anybody any suggestions for types of paint, and matching shades, for the Sandstone plastic parts?

Vinylkote has been around a long time, although I've never used it myself.

List what you are going to spray, auto paint should do the job, prepping is as important as the paint.

I want to spray the lower door panels/pockets on the front doors, also the switch panels on the side of the front seats, possibly other misc items.

If you do decide to paint the plastic, remember to use a plastic primer.
