I have to save my money in case we move here soon. So I've decided my only option is to rattle can it. I want to take my time, put multiple coats on it and then wet-sand it. Here's some questions.
1. Do I start to wet-sand once the coat is completely dry? 2. What grit of paper should I use? 3. What's the best paint I should use (because the plastics have to flex, I don't want the paint to crack)? That's all the questions I have for now. I'm sure I'll have more.

Id probably use a couple different sand papers on it. Start with something like a 220 or finer and then get finer as you go in order to get the smoothest finish. As far as paint goes, the one that flexs the most is latex, but most spray paints are oil based. I know that Rustoleum has a paint made specific for plastic that would probably work well or they have one line that is called Painters Touch that is a latex spray paint.

My track 'glass. I actually dropped it off to a guy from a local forum to paint it. Little ghost flame action in a couple spots.
