painting the rear lip

ive never painted any plastic car parts before, so theres alot of things i need to figure out before i start.

i bought a new rear lip for my car, rksport g5 rear valance, and obviously i need to paint it.

i know with urethane parts you cant just paint it like it was a metal part because the paint will eventually crack.

so what i am trying to figure out is does anywhere sell urethane primer, urethane black paint, and urethane clear coat in spray can bottles?

im hoping for just spray paint bottles, it would be a real PITA for me to get an air compressor and paint gun otherwise.

any help?

autozone and wallmart, sell plastic paint and primer, but the thing about using regular primer, is it fisheyes from the silicone in the plastic, so you need to add the silicone additive to the paint, but thats why they came out with the plasticolor paint by krylon

I'd say goto a body shop by time you spend money on paint and all that. Shouldn't be but 100-200 to get the lip painted.
