Krylon Fusion?

I am getting ready to paint some of the pieces on my dash, and I was wondering what type of pain to use.

And, should I prime, color, and clearcoat, or just color and clearcoat?

I want certain pieces to be glossy and others to be more of a satin finish, is that going to require different types of application or just different paints?

fusion's the best spray paint that ive ever used. Just do THIN coats or it will run. It dries to a dull finish. If you sanded it well, and then did a clear it could look really nice.

Make sure to clean the surfaces with isopropanol (rubbing alcohol). Also, get a good adhesion promoter, aka: primer specifically designed for painting on a plastic substrate. These two steps are the most critical, if you want to avoid peeling paint.
