i think you would be better off buying some used vents instead of repainting them .

if you have to paint them go to an automotive paint store and buy some interior paint , brand like SEM or something , and repaint them with a semi-gloss black . for sanding i would use a real small grit like 1000 or higher .

krylon fusion, bonds to plastic and will not scrap off, and I do not think it can be removed, due to the fact that in chemically bonds. I have yet to try this on automotive plastics, so try it on a small area first, this stuff works great on models.
