I just used some new Krylon spray paint from ACE that says it can be used on plastics. I completely painted the plastic interior of the westy fridge and plastic door interior and even the gasket around the door white. Turned out fantastic!. I used paint thinner and then wax and grease remover to prep the plastic before painting. This stuff really does work on plastic.

Many other spray paints I have used will cause a reaction when painting plastic. I painted a computer monitor once and it literally took a month to dry and smelled horrible the whole time.

Check out the new Krylon,

Who has a couple westy fridge door trays for sale? anybody?

Thanks,

Doug

sand them, and clean with thinner.. then prime and paint w/ silver paint. ive done it plenty of times, you must not be cleaning all the old brake dust off of them prior to spraying them...
