you won't mees up the metal... the plastic, yes. use 320-400 grit paper for regular sanding. 80 grit if you want to strip down till the bare metal.
After done sanding.... get 600-800 grit and sand some more. go over everything with 600-800 to smooth it out.
sand plastic parts by hand only... or very very lightly with sander.
