   Search button mate there is hundreds of people who have done it before and think there is a thread on how to do it which will tell u the correct grade of sandpaper

   You want some wet and dry. Get some fine and some rough.
   
   Sand the bumber strips smooth with the rough, then touch it up with a finer paper.
   
   Doesnt matter what paint you get if you want it colour coded or what..
   
   Primer About 3 coats, after each coat let it harden up, dust off with a fine wet and dry just to smooth out any imperfections
   
   spray your colour on, again 3 coats or more. DONT go right up close with the spray, lightly dust it with the paint.
   
   Lacuer you want 2 coats, again lightly dust it on, you dont want lacuer runs..
   
   Remember Preperation is the key to a good finish!
