Iv did my rear bumper so far and its worked alrite.
I got everything from halfords (sandpaper, plastic primer, paint and lacquer)

1. Mask off areas you dont want spraying.
2. Sand down the surfaces.
3. Use plastic primer, about 3 coats
4. Sand down again to get it smooth, then wash and rinse it.
5. About 3 layers of paint
6. Sand down again to get it smooth, especially if you have metallic of pearlescant paint.
7. 2 coats of clear lacquer.

I found this really helpful:
