Is there an easy way to paint the red 4 stroke engine cover? Can I just prime it and spray it or does the plastic need some special prep work?

almost forgot to tell u that once the paint is completely dry use some turtle wax and apply a few coats it really helps

GasX, no it was krylon paint I think. Messed a little of it up at first but then hadto drain ols gas out of tank and spilled a bunch on the cover and it wrinkled the paint in places. I have not used engine paint.
