The paint is easy to find at auto parts stores.
Follow the directions on the can - or - first coat to cover, watch for fish-eyes. Second and third coats should be as heavy as possible without runs.
Drying properly is the trick. On a hot day (like here) you can put the item in the sun to dry. Heat will cause the layers to wrinkle. Otherwise curing in a pre-heated oven or evenly applied heat with a hair dryer will work too. Uneven heating/drying can cause some areas to be heavily wrinkled and some areas to be almost smooth.
Allowing the item to dry in a cool spot works sometimes, but evenly applied heat is better.
