Default Painting LCARB

Hey guys,

I don't want anything fancy, I'm not going to Barett Jackson lol, I just want a colour change. I bought a used set of BMR LCARB's and they're red. I want to paint them black. I just need some quick tips on how to go about doing this... Like type of sand paper, primer, topcoat.

I decided that I don't want to sandblast because of the paint on there already, it seems to be very durable. So I figure that I need to rough it up a bit with sandpaper (What grit(s)), and can I just use basic Duplicolour primer/paint?

BTW I don't want to clear, just want it to match everything else underneath.

Thanks in advance.
