    I wouldn't paint over texture. It look 1000x better if you remove the texture. To do so you do this

    -red scothbrite the plastic
    -Spray Bulldog adhession promotor on it
    -4-5 coats of high build primer
    -let dry 2-3 hours
    -sand the primer with 320-400 grit or until al texture is gone
    -preclean
    -tack off
    -seal it
    -base it
    -clear it

    And your done. Perfect product.

    I can ship you factory paint in a singlestage. But you would need a gun to spray it.

    take it to a paint shop if you have no experinece, deffenently if you want it to be smooth, it takes a lot of water sanding with fine grit, prime, and plasti coat so paint will stick
