Painted the Edge pod this weekend..
Thanks to some tips from other members..
The paint:
Before:
After the sanding (after the pic I cleaned up a few more spots):
After the paint:
Very easy to do. Sanded the pod with 220 grit paper and a Dewalt orbital random.. Then 3 coats of primer, then 3 coats of dark gray color. No clear coat.
Matches perfectly, very pleased!

Awesome job!!! 
I was afraid of using any paper that was too abrasive on mine that's why I went with the 600 grit (I had never sanded plastic before). 220 seems to have worked great and it probably didn't take you nearly as long as it took me.

Im going to redo mine this weekend after seeing this. . but one question, do you guys think I'll need to buy the same primer for the same results? I have a plastic primer that I got from an automotive paint store, can I just use that?
