They sell interior trim kits in most colors. Look for one of those before you paint. If not, sand, light prime, then paint with duplicolor or Krylon Plastic, then clear coat.

Make sure when you sand it that you get it SUPER SMOOTH!!! I would do a layer of Bondo on it and then sand that with 1000 grit. Then primer it and sand each layer of primer and the same with all the coats until the clear. Spray the clear and dont sand it. If you take your time, you will get great results.

Good luck. Let me know if you need help along the way.
