i just did mine. wet sanded with 400 grit wetsanding paper. washed it off. then did about 5 coats with krylon "fusion" satin black spray paint with about 15 minutes in between coats. i used every bit of one can, so i'd get 2 just in case because when they get low, it comes out uneven and can mess it up. its been sittin for about 4 hours now, i'm about to put my inserts and badges on. good luck.

and this is my berger panel


i say body color inserts if you don't have alot of chrome or silver on the car but if you've got alot of chrome or silver than i'd go with the stainless inserts . . . but thats just my opinion
