I have used krylon fusion then krylon claer coat to paint my interior plastics. I sand them with 800 grit, then wash them with soap and water, let it dry completely then paint. I usually do 3 coats of paint and 5 coats of clear to prevent chipping

Good luck with the bedliner sticking for good, a guy tried that with his fender flares on his XLS and after while it started chipping and peeling, but may work out for you. I also suggest using Krylon, its good for inside and exterior pieces.

Pretty sure I painted this interior with Krylon back when I had the truck and turned out great. I also painted the cowl under my wipers back to black and has worked out well.

Thanks, I don't have that one anymore. Haven't made any effort to paint the bezels in the other ones, have to find a close match to my exterior color then I will
