Clean it before sanding it aswell, but that's basically all there is to it. when sanding, you want to try and get it so there's no "shine" visible.

If you'r using aerosol cans, stand them in a bowl of hot water for a while before hand. I've found it helps the paint flow better, and the nozzle doesn't clog as easily.

You can also get a great trigger for cans that really usefull

saves your finger and makes it easier to aim/spray.:cool:

really depends on the plastic, and how hard it is. to just take off the shine, you don't want anything too coarse, and don't press too hard, let the paper do most of the work. Try a bit and see how it goes.

add a little washing up liquid to the water you use, it helps stop the paper from clogging quickly.
