Probably not going to happen on all four corners.
Forget 400 grit. Kiss your weekend goodbye.
Get an angle grinder if you must drive the car now. Dress the face of the pads like you are an artist. The car will do the rest. Make sure all sliders and pad mounting points are functional. Pads must fit in their mounting points nicely and not be bound up.
YOU drive the car until you are satisfied there is sufficient braking. Stink them up a couple of times. You will not get 100% pad/rotor interface for several months.
This is totally back woods engineering and no one can say it's the thing to do. Just talking because if mail order is what you did, you paid peanuts for the pads so chew them up.
