I just redid mine and I used a combination of 180 and 220 grit then 4 coats of filler primer then 4 coats of gloss black I will post up pics when I get a chance I took a few pics. I used the duplicolor gloss black which turned out really nice!!

I used the duplicolor filler primer and color I used was the light grey, but as long as it says filler primer on it I don't think it matters. I got all the stuff I used at autozone for under 20 bucks!!

Just clean them with dish washing liquid to get rid of any armor-all and paint them with krylon fusion. Thats what I did and they haven't faded at all. You shouldn't need to scuff them up or anything.

I'd scuff it up with at least 400 to give the primer something to bite to. That or use self etching primer before the filler primer. What ever you do just make sure you use the same line of products, don't mix and match brands on paint and primer. Nothing like getting done spraying and come back the next day to find out your paint didn't like your primer.
