I've painted some of the dash pieces etc. on my 94 Sentra twice now and had no prob's, except for my ashtray that i'll do again! The first time they were silver (sucked) the second bright yellow (better) anyway's here's what i did!
1/ washed everything really good w/soapy water
2/ dry everything really well
3/ i then lightly sanded spot's that had bump's or scratches on them w/really
fine grit sandpaper
4/ then prime w/few light coat's allow to dry inbetween
5/ apply paint in several light coat's very important because if it's to heavy
it'll run and look like shit and pain in the ass to fix. Allow sufficient time to dry!
6/ finally apply several coat's of clear coat to protect everything and make it
more durable, allow it to dry well then re-install gently as paint alway's take's
a few day's to totally cure.

I used Krylon spray bomb's for palstic etc. to paint my stuff work's good, use a good primer and make sure the clear isn't for wood stain etc. but it's for metal, plastic etc.
If i knew how to post a pic i'd post them!
