Paint code will be on vin plate under bonnet failing that look in the door well of both driver and passenger doors some times have the code there it should say colour then the code and maybe a letter or vise versa, if you really struggle ring vauxhall with your reg number

as far as i no sand down the nobles of the plastic so leaves a smooth finish, primer the plastic, dusty cover first then another dusty cover then a thicker cover to cover the exposed plastic, couple layers of the paint followed by laquer, hopfully some one else can be slightly more discriptive then me lol but thats about it
