Prep the parts with wax and grease remover. Sold at Automotive paint stores . They also sell " Adhesion promoter". It usually comes in a aerosol can. Used for a better grip between the plastic parts and paint .
After cleaning all parts with the wax & grease remover ,scuff them down with a red scuffing pad. Re- clean them before applying the adhesion promoter.
Once you are ready to apply the adhesion promoter, spray 1 light coat, let it dry for a few minutes, and re-spray.
Once they are dry ,you can apply your paint.
Remember to use vinyl and plastic paint.
Hope this helps

I totally agree. I've tested a number of interior paints/dyes and SEM is by far the best. It's the most expensive unfortunately but hey, you get what you pay for. It covers well, is very consistent in finish regardless of temperature, and is also the easiest to spray. Black shows everything so you need a really nice, even, and consistent finish. SEM rocks when it comes to consistency. For extra adhesion, you might want to consider using Bulldog adhesion promoter also.

For doing this on the cheap, I've had good results with simply cleaning the surface with rubbing alcohol. Don't use brake clean! brake clean will melt the plastic parts, I made that mistake and had to replace parts.
Once the parts are cleaned use a good quality primer, my choice was Rust-o-lean, apply 2 or 3 coats.
Then apply paint of choice, again I used Rust-o-lean plastic/vinyl in even coats till painted to liking. Remember to take your time with things, don't rush.
I did this to my car about 4 years ago and have no trouble. No flakes, no fish eyes, no muss, no fuss.
remember! patience and prep work are everything.
