I used normal car paint. Don't waste your money on so called 'plastic paints' when all you really need is a good key and some plastic primer.
Also, people must remember that paint is not indestructible.

Good Key->Plastic Primer->Basecoat->Lacquer
is all you should need.

I have painted a couple of things, namely my centre console surround and the instrument cluster surround. These have been painted for ~7 months now, and show no signs of damage/fading.
