taking the face plates off drives is really easy.. sometimes the buttons and LED defractors don't come out as easy though... in any event paint usually sticks to clean, hard platic very well (ie no need for special paint).
Just rub some paint thinner AKA mineral spirits over the plastic to clean it and then paint it with your spray paint.
I'd recomend any automotive paint.. since you want a flat black, I've used rustoleum with good results and I know they make a flat black BBQ grill paint.
Dye might work as well, but you'd have to remove any labels etc if you wanted a consistant finish.
