Ok well today when I get home from work I should have my real TRD spoiler sitting on my door step. Now my question is since it is real they used a plastic like material not fiberglass( if I remember correctly) So now any idea how I would go about sanding that....what grit? what to start at and finsh with ?...Please all info would be helpful as I am gonna try to paint it today or tommorw.

I am in the process of painting my wing my self....first time doing it....I started by sanding it down with 400 grit. washed it. Then sparyed it black ...2 layers...then hit it with 1000 grit washed it and 1 more layer of black. I waited for it to dry then 2 layers of clear....now like i said its my first time..and I am not using a air gun just cans. The paint came out real even and nice except there is a shiny to it but not really a luster..any ideas?
