      Mine are professionally painted... I suppose that doesn't really help, though.

        Ive painted similar things in the past like black plastic door handles. Me and my friend would just roughed it up a bit with some light sandpaper, sprayed it, and it turned out fine. Im not much help here either but that what ive done.

              You'll probably want to use an adhesion promoter to help prevent the paint from cracking.

                definately sand it down with up to 800 grit before you paint it, otherwise the texture will show through. you might be all right with not sanding the plastic by using adhesion promoter and a couple layers of sandable primer then wet-sanding that before you paint.
