Rep Power: 368 Wrap a rag or piece of cloth around the flathead so you don't damage anything in the process. As for paint, I recommend Krylon Fusion - sticks to plastic very well.
If you're using Fusion, make sure the surface to paint is clean (mineral spirits?) then very light sanding. You can pretty much paint right onto the part right after. If you're using a different paint (I use Duplicolor Metalcast on my insides) then you'll need primer.
