When I did mine, I used 220 grit very lightly. I don't think you really need to use any sand paper, just make sure the surface is clean.
For paint I actually used a Dupli-Color Perfect Match (touch up for car paint), and it seems to be holding up very well. There is special paint for the dash/interior.
I did three coats, and it looks great.
For me painting is a big mistake. I personally like wrapping with vinly. If you dont like it, just remove it.
Lol you could always paint over it

I did a test strip with vinyl before I painted my dash, but when I took that test strip off, some of the original paint came off as well. So I just ended up painting it, if anything I can always paint it back.
i had mine painted VBP along with the those silver tabs on the doors (oh shit handles) lol it came out great .... i would recommend sanding with a super fine grit sand paper for sure and then maybe even a coat of plastic primer... that dash takes more contact then you really assume or expect last thing u want is a cheap paint job and it chips or scratches right through... but thats just my i figure it ur gonna do it do it right
Here's a link to a DIY off another forum, in case you still need it.

Do you happen to have the paint code for the original factory trim? Silver??? Edit>> Used Duplicolor Perfect Match duplicates Ford color Silver. A tad lighter than stock but looks clean.
