you could prob get the spray you need down a local halfords, whatever you spray will need to be sprayed with primer first.

Halfords is cheaper, just any colour spray will do

plastic primer
paint
clear laquer

Get some plastikoat(think thats the right name) i`ve found you get a much better finish with it available in Hellfrauds you still need a plastic primer coat though.

Degrease
Wet Dry
Clean
Primer x 3
Paint x 3
Laquer x 3

Make sure you rub down between coats of primer and paint:y:Jobs a good un

rubbing down inbetween coats imo makes it worse, as long as you apply really thin coats of paint/primer/laquer you wont need to rub down.

if you apply really thin light coats, do about 5 of each ;)
