Sanding bumpers

[lord_verminaard at yahoo.com (Brendan Doyle)]

I did the same to my euro rear bumper when I had my MkII, details here: http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=2938029

Basically I sanded the hell out of it with 80 grit, and after filling the trim strip (optional) I laid down several coats of primer.  It took a bit of wet sanding with 400 to get it really smooth but after a few coats of paint it was really nice.

What luck, if any, has anyone had with sanding down bumpers?  I have a set 
of Euros
that have some paint that still needs to be stripped from them, but they 
are also pebble
finish.  I would like a smooth finish for the '88.  Can they be sanded 
smooth and come out
ok, or should I just buy a set of smooth Euros?
