I don't know what grit but start with a bit rough to smooth. Just go at it. Then clean them off well before you paint.

Yeah, it's not like body work...it doesn't have to be pretty to look good. Rough grit to get the stickers and paint off, and semi-rough to "smooth" it out. Re-apply paint or whatever.

GL!
