yes,painted cars for a living a long time ago and it's alot easier now. Most paint mfg. now have rattle cans just for plastic. Try your local Pep Boys they have a large selection. Prep is easy, take the gloss off with real fine steel wool or scotchbrite pad, clean with thinner and paint. Hope this helps.

I'm assuming we'll be hooking up with you on the 777 ride on our way north, you'll find out then. :smoking:
