scrape off all the paint off the faceplate with rough grit sandpaper, then hit it with spraypaint and then sealant

forget lettering, you'll be faster without it

You dont need to sand it down all the way. It only needs to be rough so the paint will stick. Use primer then a couple coats of your color and then probably 3 thin layers of clear coat. Make sure its completely cured before using clear coat.

I would sand twice though, I started with 150 on mine and then went to 400 to get it smoother. You could go even higher than that but 400 was the finest grit they had at my Lowe's store

I use 250 and wet sand with 600.

I wonder if the person who design the mpc1k had optimus prime in mind, I mean look at how close the colors are, they could have just put a tramsformer sign on the mpc 8)
