Removed the overspray and other gunk with 150 wet/dry; then sanded with 320
wet:dry

1. Should I continue on with finer paper ?
2. What paint is recommended ?

I see scratches.
Keep sanding
You should not see scratches, more of a dull hazed look.
Then paint it.

Honestly, if you do it right, at 1000 or 2000 you could buff it and may not need paint.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) You should be able to sand and polish back to the original sheen. It will take more time though.
