Painting a Plastic Changing Table

I received an awful hand-me-down plastic diaper changing table. In normal cases, people would just throw it out, but unfortunately I'm in no position to be picky about gifts given- hand-me-down or not. I would however like to paint over the most dreadful area, which is the blue sides. Yes I'm having a baby boy, but the blue is a type of blue best left hidden. I do not want to be too wild. I just want to cover the blue by painting it white- the same color the rest of the changing table is. I heard I can just spray paint it, but can I go out and buy just any regular type of spray paint? Any one out there in the WWW with ideas?

There are probably other brands of spray made made specifically for painting plastic, as well, but Krylon Fusion ⇦ this on eBay or Amazon [affil links] Spray Paint for Plastic is a widely known one, Meghan.
