If you're going to paint it I'd hit it with 320grit sandpaper

^^ Thats what I use. It works good because it sands pretty quick, and is fine enough not to scratch the tpo plastic.

Hey guys. I'm going to try the 320 grit sandpaper to remove the previous owners poor paint job. What would be the next step(s) in the process for respraying the OEM bumpers and trim?

Thanks,
Van
