are you trying to get it to match the exterior paint? If so you may want to consider having a body shop paint it to get the depth on the clear coat and paint.
If you just want them black or blue rattle can you can do it that way as well.
You will need:
Rattle can paint of your choice and color (duplicolor will work fine)
800 grit wet/dry sandpaper
1000 grit wet/dry sandpaper
2000 grit wet/dry sandpaper
clear coat (rattle can will work but if you are not experienced you may want a body shop to spray the clear for you) Duplicolor acrylic enamel will work
-3M rubbing compound
-Meguires Plast X
-Your choice of wax
-Rattle Can Primer
Let me know if you need to know the steps to do it...I painted my mustang interior and it came out perfect.
basically sand with 600 grit and a mixture of water and dish soap, then use terry towel etc to wipe clean and let dry....this allows paint to stick. Spray your primer and wet sand with 1000 grit. Then spray your paint in LIGHT coats, wet sand between coats, spray on clear coat thicker but dont let it run, wet sand between coats, do at least 2-3, let dry for couple hours if not overnight, then bust out your buffing compounds and do 4 coats of Plast X, 4 coats of Rubbing compound and then 4 coats of your wax and your done

you will need to wet sand the clear coat if you clear it...highly recommend you do or else it will be a flat color with no shine.
forgot to add, you dont want to wax the paint until at least a week after painted and do a light coat for protectant of the clear coat...then a full wax after about a month
sanding prior to painting helps the paint stick to a smooth surface as it is not smooth anymore...you could get an adhesive promotor but why not just sand it? Risk of not sanding can lead to paint chipping off as it may not stick to the smooth plastic properly Or use the adhesive promotor, your call, just extra money you dont need to spend
Heres the result in my stang:
