Might be better and easier to just buy one, painted plastic doesn't usually look good unless it's a good quality spray, definitely not with a brush.

@BondGirl84 As someone else said, use a very fine sandpaper to prepare the surface, then a coat of primer and you should get a nice finish with a spray.
Post a photo of it before and after please :)
