Stan,
I used 220 grit sandpaper and wet sanded the edges to a fairly smooth surface before masking and painting the edge black. Do NOT use a coarse grit paper as you will start chipping the edges instead of smoothing them. I only have one photo on my computer showing the results, if you want the "installed" photos I can take them tonight.
