painting plastic

now that I no longer fit into the "pretty" bike catagory, I need to paint the Uly "Ugly redheaded step child" red.
What paint products should I be looking at to get a coat of paint on plastic?
OR anybody know a good painter that can do an ugly job on plastic?

If you are going right over ABS plastic in its raw state, you will need a 'plastic adhesion promoter' first. 2 coats, then primer, base, etc...

If it already has paint on it, scuff the clear, prime, base, clear....
