   not sure but its plastic so thoguht you would get plastic primer, and then prep by covering up arround the bumpstrips and bumeprs, then prime it then get your coulor and spray

   only way is body shop to be honest mate, thats if you want it to look decent, and have a good colour match

   spend most of the time on the preperation mate, a good surface and plastic primer will make sure the paint doesnt start flaking off
   
   sand with a fine grit paper 2500 if you can, use it in between coats, until you get to the last layer of paint dont sand it, laquering leave a good week for it to harden fully, apply a good 4 -5 coats of it too
   
   like said its going to be best with a spray gun instead of a can, if you have a compressor then you can use that, but still wont be as good as taking to a bodyshop as they have booths to stop the dust settling on the paint etc
   
   take your time with it, mask it up properly and prep it good and proper and you cant go wrong
