Default Best way to Paint an EG A-pillar for guage installation..?

Like it says guys im tryingf to paint my a-pillar so it matches the black guage pod i have, what is the best way to do that? I have already painted over it with gloss black snamal, looks pretty shitty as the paint doesnt really stick too well to the plastic....need some ideas, thanks.

Clean the pillar with alcohol and let it dry. Use a Paint meant for plastic. The paint meant for car interiors works really well. Then spray on the paint. If you use paint like krylon fuzion prime the pillar first. Hope this helps.
