I have been painting autos, RVs and boats for over 38 years i wouldnt recommend rustleum paint , Krylon is much better for paint larger areas because it has a much better spray nossel with a fan spray , and also has retarder in it to slow down the dry time so the paint flows and gives you a better shine . You can also buff the paint to remove and dirt or dull spots . Rusteleum is a good paint for doint around the house items . You really dont need to use a primer before painting on plastic unless you are useing a transparent paint that doesnt cover well. If you are going to primer use primer paint not flat paint . This is my opinion .

If the store O'Riley's Auto Parts is local to you.... They sell real automotive paint in a can.
That's what I recommend..

There was a video on painting his scooter red on youtube, someone already posted it on this forum a couple times... Look in the tips section and I'll see if I can find it too
