suitable black paint

Afternoon all

I'd like to get the bonnet vents fitted which I put off until after SVA. They're off a metro and could do with a good clean and a spray of paint.

I'm after some advice as to the best type od paint to spray these in that's quite hard wearing and easy to clean. Oh and as it'll need spraying before fitting, not prone to marking from me pressing on it with fingers etc.

They're made of high impact plastic. I was thinking a good wash, primer them up and use plasticote.

Any problems with that or something more suitable?

Cheers

Renault dealers sell Strupcoat which is for repairing the black textured parts of bumpers and trims. It has a light texture and is designed for plastics - very useful stuff.

You can get plastic primer - it etches the surface a bit, which helps to keep it in place.
