Default prepping plastic parts for paint

I did a search and it didnt work out. Looking to paint the outside handles, mirrors or just covers not shure yet, whole front grille, bumper cap and lower valence in the front. I figured sand them down completly smooth and use a filler primer. Then paint using flex agent in the mix. just looking for tips and tricks of how to get it done right, thanks

Sounds good, when you sanded did you go completly smooth?
