There's a special type of spray paint for plastics.  It is flexible to
reduce peeling and cracking.  Handy to paint black grilles and waxed-over
spoilers.  Your local auto parts purveyor ought to have a few cans of black.
And yes, they look great when done!

This may not be the "correct" way, but I simply sprayed mine with
satin-black spray paint.  Look great.
