Use a high build primer first, try and use a spray paint that is made to go on plastic as it will allow a little flex and stop it peeling off. then plenty of clear coat that is suitible for plastic and build up a good few layers.

the first step you should do is clean it real good with wax and grease remover. are u taking about the whole interior or just trim pieces. because if it is the trim pieces i wouldn't worry about the plastic paint because the trim pieces are hard plastic.
