Basically i sprayed half a bottle of brake cleaner on it to clean all the grease and grime off, then masked off a few areas with tape, hit it with heavy grit sand paper to score the factory "finish", then sprayed 4-5 coats with low gloss black engine enamel. no sanding or anything. I was really easy, just required patience.
