I've used SEM plastic paint in the past with good results...
I believe they make an adhesion promoter as well that you can wipe or spray on the plastic before applying paint that will kind soften up the plastic which apparently helps the paint stick...
I would consider this a mandatory step, unless you want to do the whole panel again when it starts to flake off in a few months...
Also, before using the adhesion promoter, you need to clean the heck out of the plastic... Any silicone (from armor all or whatever), grease, oil etc. and the paint will flake. I believe SEM makes a product for this too.
Painting plastic can be hit or miss... But I've found if you follow the whole system for whatever brand you choose, (Cleaner, Prep, Adhesion Promoter, etc.) you have the best chance of the paint not flaking down the road....
