maybe use 600 and then 1000 and then 2000. you dont really need to do too much sanding because yours in unpainted. mainly washing them real good since you drove with them on. When i got my grill i painted them right away without sanding.

i just ordered some matching paint, some primer, and some clear coat.

I'll just stop by the local hardware store to pick up some tape/sand paper
