The black spots are probably where the paint was repelled by something - oil from your fingers or some type of cleaner you used in the past like ArmourAll. The plastic soaks up a certain amount of this stuff and retains it.
Clean it with TSP (Trisodium Phosphate) and warm water first to get the oils off of it and make sure you let it dry completely first.
Don't buy the TSP substitute. You should be able to get TSP at a paint store or hardware store.

1st off, you must know that paint dosen't adhere good to polished surfaces, your plastic probably was, and that you have to "rough" it up a little, 120 grit sandpaper does well, finer for plastic. This is the reason for the "white paint with black spots". The paint sat there over a "poolished" area and didn't adhere to it.
2nd, you must also know that most "spray" paints aren't designed for plastic surfaces, most hobby shops, car dealer, and parts stores will have the proper type of paints as well as many different colors.
3rd, Why would you want to mess up the interior of your car in the first place????
Good luck and hope this helps.

You likely did not properly prepare the surface before painting. At this point, you are going to have to remove all the old paint. Then carefully FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS!!!! If it says to clean it with a certain substance, do it. If it says to use a certain primer, do it. If it says to sand first, or use a tack cloth, do it. The preparation is the key to any good paint job, whether inside the car, outside the car, or something around the house.
If you bought a brand of paint that didn't offer proper instructions, I apologize for the above yelling. You will need to thoroughly clean all surfaces to be painted, first with your standard automotive cleaners, then with vinegar/water 50/50%, then with clean water. You may want to gently scuff the surface with a 400 or 600 grit sandpaper. If you do, follow it up with a wipe with a tack cloth to remove any dust. Then prime and paint. Good luck with it.
