You have to remove the handles from the inside - remove door trim, plastic dust cover.

Bit of a pain getting them back in.

yeah you will probably need a few cans and if ya dont use them all they are good to have incase you need to touch up.

with the sanding to begin with use 180grit so it roughs it up a bit but the sanding between coats i just give it a light rub over with a 400grit or something then just feel over it and make sure there are no lumpy or daggy bits (make sure after you give it a sand get rid of any dust before applying another coat.
