spray painting plastic

here is a 60's type bathroom set and wondered if you can spray this item, similar by the bath.
money is tight but i do like it in a strange way, quirky and i could do a lurid or even not so lurid colour, would love to try but is it worth it?

Go retro!
 
I don't know anything about painting these kind of surfaces, but my gut feeling says no. Surfaces like these, where the finish needs to be both seamless and able to take hard scrubbing, might be better off left alone?
BUT I like them a lot, and I would keep them and make the room all retro, with a 60-style pattern curtain, bold patterned and coloured towels and other accesories. And if you want to, maybe it's even a better idea to paint the tiles, which don't get the same wear and watercontact as the whiteware.

plastic bathroom vanity
 
yes probably right on this one, maybe i should leave it and do up all that is around it!
i like it, think it is striking and different in its own right, harks back to a different age, and worth keeping i think.
thanks for changing my mind on this one!
