I'm not an expert by any strech but this is what I did:
- Wash the part thoroughly using dishsoap.
- Sanded it with 800 grit
- Cleaned the part again
- Prime it and let dry
- Wet Sand with 1000 grit
Now here I used rim paint since I had a bunch left from some rims I was touching up, it worked well suprisingly.
- Painted it and let dry (about 2 hours)
- Clear coated it (3 coats) letting dry slightly between coats.
Maybe with the brushed one you may require more sanding to get it smooth.
Now to get the cigarette lighter out was easy theres two clips on the inside that hold the metal center in, push those out while pressing up on the bottom of the part and it should come loose. Once the center is out the rest comes out easy.
