    If you've disassembled them already it should be easy after that. Clean it, sand it down, primer, then aerosol paint for plastics. Main thing is to use several light coats.

    Here's a handy link I found.

    Clicky

    Reading this, ignore my sanding comment. :) Spray paint for plastic should be easy to come by, try hardware store or maybe halfords for some mad colours (seen some flip colours there)

    1. sanding with 600 - 800 grid sand paper
    2. de-greasing
    3. respray with "soft plastic" primer, I've got Glasurit 934-0 clear handy
    4. respray with whatever colour you wish
    5. metallics and some other coluiors might need to be clearcoated
    6. enjoy
