    mate i did mine about 2 years ago. any plastic part that you can pull off is paintable and you cant damage with paint.
    use wax and grease remover.
    Plasti primer
    Colour
    then clear.

    you dont need to use vinyl die as long as you use a good quality plasti primer.
    Here is mine.
