Pretty much the same steps I went through. Mine is Arctic Silver Metallic so the sanding process was a little more detailed to ensure the metal flakes didn't get dulled so I used 1000 grit on 2 coats of colour then the last colour coat had no sanding. Two coats of clear coat and the warts looked factory finished.

I did my Arctic Silver car's bumperettes too. I sanded off all the pebble finish that mine had, and they are silver and smooth as a baby's bottom. Pics in BoxsterSteve's Garage if you'd like to look.
