When the previous owner of my car had it repainted they put a nice coat of Olympic blue over the black screen. Can this just be sanded down and painted? If so, is there a certain type of paint that will not harm the plastic?

Cool. Can I just sand the old paint off then paint?
Chances are the paint will just flake off. The last one I removed from a parts car looked like that and I just put in the sand blast cabinet and hit it a few times and it cleaned right up. No need to repaint.
Looks like a fine candidate for soda blasting. And then leave it unpainted in it's natural black as was originally intended.
My car didn't have a screen over the fresh air box, so when I installed it I pul a vinyl screen over the top. I have since painted the car a couple times. If you watch the video listed in my signature space at the bottom of this post, you will see how to mask this in the furture. slip the tape in sticky side up.
