Try wearing some gloves so you don't get the oils from your hands on the parts

If you are using Krylon paint, use Krylon primer and Krylon clear coat.

If you use Dupli-Color, use all of their products too. Never mix and match

I figured this but its good to know it for sure. Thanks.

I think 40 degrees is pushing it. You'll want to preheat your garage and keep it warm until the paint has set. I believe most paints recommended 50-75 degrees (somewhere around there). Check the can.

Also, the cleaners you mentioned, any citrus based? If so, that could be the issue. I believe Acetone is a good "degreasing" agent as well. When it comes to plastic, you're best to prep it and get rid of the "shine". Shiny does not paint well.
