    U just sand them down a bit, get the dust and shit off them, then primer and paint laquer etc...

    post I did earlier
    if painting parts of interior, what you will need is
    1 primer
    2 paint
    3 lacquer
    4 wet and dry sand paper 1200grit

    you will need to clean parts you plan to paint, to get any cleaning products off mainly silicone based stuff, once cleaned, go over area with some scotch pad, this is to give the paint something to adear to.

    now for primer coat the parts with 2 to 3 layers of primer, let them flash dry before each coat, once dry rub them down with the wet and dry till glass smooth.

    now for paint aply paint till you get the colour you want, normaly 3 coats,
    take your time and let flash dry before each coat.

    now for the lacquer apply this very lightly as its very easy to get runs in lacquer, leave for about 45 mins before each coat, I like lots of lacquer on so I go for about 5 coats, leave to dry overnight, then jobs done.

    if you want to colour code bumpstrips take it to local bodyshop
