I wouldn't start using 400, that's pretty rough man. I would go with 800 first.
As for the badge. I dunno man, up-close, I guess you can appreciate it, but far away, it just looks like a black circle, or maybe even a hole.
Have to say I like my blacked out ones more -- for 1/12 of the price you paid for your murdered out (if I remember correctly, lol).

I did not bother with the buffing and just cleared (spray can) it after 2000 grit wet sand. lasts a lot longer. 
Yes I removed them, easier to work on.
If you get orange peel after the clear, sand and compound that if you need to.

I used just about any automotive clear paint in spray cans. But the biggest thing to remember is to get one with a good spray tip, and lay it down wet. Of course the expensive stuff you mix and put in a pro type sprayer would be better. What I used, works so I just went with it.
Yes you can use it on head lights just make sure to put on a wet coat. If you don't, after it is dry, just sand down and redo, or buff after sanding down the orange peel.
Really sorry about the thread jacking, you can pm me questions or just look at the DIY section for the headlight restoration.
