hi, just use 400 to 600 wet n dry. then go over it with a grey colored scotch brite pad , to get into the corners /hardspots etc... make sure EVERY bit of rubbbed down residue has been removed/washed off. if ya feeling confident enough, spray it with a two pack flat black.(personally a satin/semigloss finish will look alot better, because a real flat black can some times be pretty hard to clean.)
