It all depends on how badly the plastic is weathered/damaged ... I probably wouldn't go as low as a 100 unless it's severe, but I'd def go all the way up to 1500 to get the nice smooth surface before buffing and polishing them out.
What did you do to your FX / QX70 today?

Loaded up the FX with a set of 22's and dropped them off at powder coating shop
for some sweet loving... They are chrome but will be gloss black by next Fri.
I've read a lot of good views on powder coating and this my first experience
So I'm very nervous. I hope it will turn out awesome. I feel like a little kid.... sooo excited.
Will post pics as soon as I can..

drove it a total of 4 min to the gym and back because it was leg day and 18 degrees w/ snow. 
didn't do it today, but in some recent past....
also, started the gear shifter custom mod... I had an upgraded (06+) shifter panel, but it was partially broken when my dash got changed (I did not know it until year later), then took shifter panel to do some carbon wrapping, and it totally fell apart. So instead of getting new $70 panel, I figured I'll do something custom... Have MOMO knob to go with custom look once its complete

Comeon! Arrrrgh! I would've traded emblems with you! lol, my gold chrome emblem was fading so I had use metallic gold over it instead
I prefer gold chrome, but it's expensive
Nice, I'm going to need to talk myself into one of those.
Ha! Nice! Keep us posted on how things turn out. You out of warranty right?
No I still have a few years left , I had it extended and am guessing after they fix these two problems it paid for itself.
