suggestions already. Plus I have made a few small sanding blocks out of
1/8" plexiglass of different configurations to get in all the nooks and
cranny's and a using a scotch brite pad on some areas. It's just such a
tedious, boring, time consuming job. Far worse than the sill plate
resto. Preparation is a priority as after the black is painted I have to
mask up the grill to paint the silver and don't want the slightest
chance when I remove the tape that it will pull off any of the paint.

Hi, May help.. or not.. but when I worked with R/C airplanes we had 
alot of sanding to do in small places and it also wore out the 
finger. Often times I would wrap (or glue) sandpaper to a 'craft' 
(read .. pop-sicle) stick and use that. I have also used a 
disposable sanding pad my wife found in the manicure section of 
Wally-world. Worked pretty well really...  
Good Luck, Rat
