use 400 or 600 and wetsand all of the paint off until you see black. use alcohol to clean it all. tape off what you dont want painted. spray 3-4 coats of spray paint 15 minutes apart. then do 3 clear coats, the first 2 light and the last heavy. then wetsand using 1500. ill post pics of mine, i just did it, and it looks sickkk

Yeah it is very easy to do but be sure to tape it well.......and tape the edges well so the paint does not bleed through and use a unsharpened pencil or some piece of plastic to rub the edge down well on the tape.........

Take your time and use light coats and give it time between coats......or you will get cracks and problems........light coats and even coats........clear it when finished and then wet sand and polish and wax it and it willlook perfect liek the exterior.

I know this is a while ago but when you paint it, take off all the pieces that you can. The buttons and HVAC controls all come off, the door comes off, and the HVAC **** comes out too making it 10x easier. just a little tip.
