80 grit on an orbital sander, then finished it off with the smoother side of one of those sanding blocks, I`m guessing about 200 or so grit.

Better than plasti dip is flat black bumper paint.

Love seeing these good DIY threads. This day and age everything's made to be insta-replaceable and few people invest the effort to fix things up. Kudos to the OP!
