RE: prep for paint
I would use 500 then 1000 grit and wet sand the hell out of it.If you have big scratches you can use a courser grit like 150 on an electric sander till it starts to feel smooth.They also make a filler/primer that can actually fill some small imperfections as you spray it.Also if you're wet sanding make sure you give it plenty of time to dry before you try spraying it.Now, how about some pics?
