sand them with 600 grit, clean with a de-greaser (i usualy use my mom dishwasher soap) and I use TSP (i think thats what its called)
After clean give them a shot of primer let the primer dry really good. give it a really light wet sand with 1000 grit if there are any imperfections. I usually skit that step.
Give them a good shot of paint. Do light coats!!!!!!!!! If you get to much on it well run or look like crap. then you have to let it fully dry, sand it down and start over....
once paint is on give it a shot of clear coat. I find when using clear coat do the 1st coat really light then get heavier as you do more coats. not to heavy else it will run.
Honestly easier just to let the dealor do it. its worth a try to do it your self and a learning experience. you can use this the exact same way to paint the interior peices as well... plastic can be a bitch to paint sometimes but paitence is key..
