Painitng a Grill

I sound like such an amature but here I go.

Last thursday I found a 97 Red SVX grill on www.car-parts.com for $45
Just my luck
I'm going to install in on my 93 Silver SVX.
I have never painter a plastic panel on a car it has mostly been metal.

How do I get it prep and paint it Silver? Or should I just use 320 and paint over the red?

Thanks

You never want to paint over 320 scratch. Just sand it with 800 grit then bascoat/clearcoat. Good find for the price to.
