Although not body color I have painted one to match my ebony interior. The biggest step is to make sure it is clean and free from oils that would end up ruining the finish.

krylon fusion might be a good idea for this as it kinda bonds and I don't think it would scratch nearly as easy as other paints. I used it on the flares on my jeep and they are close to the same material and it was quite tough and looked great!!

Yes, use krylon or a paint that is made for plastic. I bought a tan color boot color and painted it black. The krylon bonds very nicely to the platic. I could not scape it off, appears that the platics absorbs the paint.
