    use some 1200 sandpaper to give it a good rub back then some 1500 to give it a smooth surface.
    then spray with some plastic primer before you give it the final paint job

    you can use whatever paint you like. the choice is yours....
    for mine i used the same color as the car (a touchup can) which i had mixed at my local paint shop. cost roughly $25 -$28 per can

    make sure you get the right Satin Chrome as well.
    From what some of the local paint shops have been passing off as Satin Chrome to what factory Satin Chrome looks like, seems to be a lot different.
