what i've been using on my panels is dupli-colors vinyl and fabric paint, no need to sand, just clean it a spray it, turns out great and its cheap paint too. and celticsfan, can i make a suggestion? hold the spray can back aways from your panel, and even in the wind you wont get those light and dark spots in your paint. takes a little more paint and time, but it turns out much better.

Looks good, I like krylon fusion for plastic and the dupli-color for the carpet and vinyl, i just re/painted my hole interior! from gray to gloss back came out nice, but do take your several thin coats are better then a couple of heavy ones.
