From past experience, I don't recommend it. Ever look inside an avalanche? The dash is almost always peeling. When I did it, the paint loved to scratch and is a mother ****** to get clean because of the pattern in the plastic.
I didn't sand anything tho. My paint never peeled. I just cleaned it with laquer thinner really good, taped off what I didn't want painted and shot it with plastic spray paint. And when you buy paint just remember the saying, "you get what you pay for."

use a grey or gold scuffing pad and some scuff paste and scuff them up really good be sure not to to hard or you'll gouge them. then i would use an adhesion promotor, let it flash, paint them with base and then clear them if you choose. yes i would use automotive paint over model paint.

correct, ppg`s way is this scuff with grey pad, wipe with dx 330, and use interior base coat, it can be set to have different degrees of gloss, i think from 5-12 degrees of gloss
