Complete waste of time if you don't use polycarbonate paint color and clear coat will only flake off

I was thinking you might have a fibreglass body.

+1 on Troy with the Lexan bodies - you need the flexible paint - made to flex with the body.

Painting over the windows may look OK for a while, but will probably flake off.

I think there's a paint called Flexicote which may help here ...

Plastikote is an enamel based spray I think and will work, I back my paint with that, works well for me.

However I would strongly advise testing as has already been said above to make sure you don't get a reaction.
 
Most times when you spray laquer paints over enamel paints or the other way around it'll spider crack and wrinkle up.
