Sand, prime, sand, paint then
optional sand, and laqure it.
Sand using wet and dry, somethin like 1200 grit. Just to rough up the surface so the paint will stick to the plastic

Also, give the whole bit a really good clean with alcohol on a cloth. The plastic will be covered in mould-release agents and other stuff that will interfere with paint sticking. I use isopropyl alcohol - you can get a 500ml can from Maplin for about 9 quid.
