light sanding, prime, paint, clear-coat. not that hard.

if you're trying to colormatch your car or whatever, use automotive spraypaint that you can buy at wal-mart or pep boys or wherever. oh, and buy a can-gun attachment. it will make things easier.

don't use anything coarser than 220 grit. might want to use an adhesion promoter of some kind to help the paint stick

Get some heat wrap tape and wrap the whole thing.

isn't the tubbing I think your talking about rubber? If thats the case, you wouldn't want to sand it at all.
