Default duplicolor Mirage ICE for Mustang Emblems

Does anyone know what grit sandpaper would be good to sand down the side emblems and pony? I want them to stay really smooth. I'll be practicing on some spare stuff before actually doing anything, but I'd like some input on ideas of how to achieve a nice smooth spray paint job. I was also jw if i instead of using the black base coat, used a blue base coat, would I have more of a blue array of colors? Thanks, i know theres a lot of questions, but i just want to see what some of the pro's have to say. Thanks.

Hopefully someone can answer your question. What about a scotch brite pad?

yeah i havn't had time to do much research yet school work and more work has been crazy, but as soon as i get a chance imma try some different pads on some broken emblems i have around and see what grit imma need to smooth it out, i'm assuming i have to basically sand the emblem until it looses its shine and just becomes plain smooth.
