first is your plastic actually painted?
but for the stripped, let it sit on the paint for a little to start working. then use a pressure washer, or use soap and a brush to get the paint off, then clean it off.
once dry wet sand the plastic. use like 600grit. this will help rough the plastic up and also take out and scratches.
i would suggest using bulldug adhesive promotor as your primer.

an automotive paint store should have it, it is use on plastic bumpers

I am using Krylon Fusion for Plastic for my plastics. It doesn't require primer and it cost me like $5 for each can at Walmart.
yes it says your dont need primer, but trust me, the bulldog stuff will help out a lot.

get that fusion paint at walmart - i want to say it was $3.29 a can you might need 4-5 cans of paint
clear was same price, might need 2-3 cans of clear
the bulldog stuff at an automotive paint store - no clue on price, didn't buy it, but i think it will be around $10 for a can, you should only use a can of it.
also let the bulldog stuff dry over night before you paint it.
dont paint in cold weather either.
you are looking at around $40-$50 for all off it. depend on how much paint you use and stuff.
