Rub down with sandpaper gradually working your way down to very fine papers, wet and dry - if your picky...but it does make a difference
Clean with solvent, the your good to go.
Time taking during prep will pay off

That's not how you prep them. There is a painting tutorial in FAQ.

Go in Halfords and get colour matching!!
Take a bit of board in there and spray on some dark greys....let it dry and then match up against ya bumper.
