When you said "bag" and "paint" my first though was "Shake'N Bake", which would probably be bad for painting, so I'm glad that was not your idea! ;)

Did you have to prep the plastic before painting by doing any sanding to help the paint stick? I try to find a plastic spray paint and primer all in one and have good luck with it. But that craft spray looks pretty good Patrick!

Looks good Patrick!

When I made darth Vader, I first prepped the plastic with an etching primer. A very light coat of the etching primer before the paint. It seemed to hold up well.

here's the video for painting.aldo the parts are dry in about 20 to 30 minutes, it would be good to let it harden for a day or so.you can assemble and calibrate the, robot after 30 minutes.try not to overpaint the parts.the drying proces can be hard.
