i had success with Krylon Plastic Fusion. I cleaned my ABS panels with alcohol and water, then hit them with three coats.

Krylon Fushion does NOT work on vinyl (from my experience).

i used "color bond" on my door panels/trim.  they were stained/faded and it brought them back to life.  i'll try to add pics of before and after.  works just like spray paint, but seems to bond better, and not look painted, but like new plastic.
