Default painting mojave

I am going to paint my mojave black with silver sparkle flames. I was going to use krylon since it is the best spray paint for plastic and then put about 20 coats of clear coat for max protection. Has anyone painted there plastic give me some tips?

I tested the Fusion paint and was pretty disapointed. Plastic was clean, put on 3 light coats with good flash times inbetween, let it dry for 7 days. After 7 days it's supposed to be totally chip resistant. It still chipped and worse yet when I rubbed the test piece back and forth across my knee to see how it would stand up to riding wear the paint got discolored. Lost all sheen and got about 3 shades lighter.
