Dye sounds good how does it hold up and feel? I was thinking regular spray paint would be tacky and all the dust and everything would be sticking to it. And once you put it on theres no taking it off if you dont like it...

Look at the PlastiKote range of paints, they are safe for use on plastic, come in a large range of flat and metallic colours (even sandstone fleck paint), the flat and metallic ones are enamel based (i think) and if laquered with their laquer the results can be quite good
