Not sure on sanding down the paint but I painted my plastic on my front bumper. https://www.dieselbombers.com/show-t...-new-look.html
I used scotch-brite pads to scuff up the plastic to help the paint stick better. Cleaned the plastic with a tack cloth, then applied paint. My bumper i did 3 coats of Krylon satin black, waited about 20 minutes between each coat, then applied 3 coats of Krylon gloss clear, waited about 20-25 minutes between each coat. Very simple to do! Good luck, and remember PATIENCE! (I have trouble with that)
I'm not very good at before-during-and after pics. I'm lucky to get a before pic sometimes.

And since you'll be masking the straight line of silver I suggest 3M FineLine tape.
To paint the plastic make sure you use an adhesion promoter like Bulldog. You can even pick that stuff up at some Wal-Marts these days.
