Im thinking of spray bombing just one side of my plastics black so i can get an original look and i was wondering what a good brand of paint to use would be?

Not really going to hold up too well, especially on the sides but it's your decision. The only brand of paint that would be worth trying is Krylon Fusion for plastics.

ya, if you insist on doing it....krylon fusion is your best bet..

but from experince it does not hold up at all, i can show you pics of my old race cuts that i painted with this stuff... its not pretty

I wouldnt think paint would stick very well to slippery platics. Maybe if you roughed them up a bit but still I wouldnt recomend it.

that krylon paint works really good, i used 400 then 1000 grit sandpaper wiped it down with wet washclith let dry painted it, then recoated every 15 minutes it held up awesome. worse comes to worse gasoline and old dish towels removes it.

What do you mean by spray bombing? I tried some of that fusion on my rad cover & still holding up well.
